Systolic volume and minimal entropy of aspherical manifolds

arXiv:math/0603695

Abstract

We establish isosystolic inequalities for a class of manifolds which includes the aspherical manifolds. In particular, we relate the systolic volume of aspherical manifolds first to their minimal entropy, then to the algebraic entropy of their fundamental groups.
