Scalar curvature and the length of a shortest closed geodesic
Let M be a closed Riemannian 3-manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by some positive constant k. We will prove that there exists a closed non-trivial geodesic on M of length at most $\frac{c}{\sqrt{k}}$. (Joint with Y. Liokumovich, D. Maximo.)
