Entropy and systoles on surfaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 July 2006
Abstract
We show that the volume entropy of surfaces with unit systole is bounded from above by a constant which does not depend on the metric, which answers a question raised by A. Katok. This upper bound follows from a comparison between the geometric and algebraic lengths on the fundamental groups of surfaces.
