      Systoles of surfaces
      In mathematics, systolic inequalities for curves on surfaces were first studied by Charles Loewner in 1949 . Given a closed surface, its systole, denoted sys, is defined to the least length of a loop that cannot be contracted to a point on the surface. The systolic area of a metric is defined to...
