We discuss various questions of the following kind: for a continuous map $X to Y$ from a compact metric space to a simplicial complex, can one guarantee the existence of a fiber large in the sense of Urysohn width? The $d$-width measures how well a space can be approximated by a $d$-dimensional complex. The results of this paper include the following. 1) Any piecewise linear map $f: [0,1]^{m+2} to Y^m$ from the unit euclidean $(m+2)$-cube to an $m$-polyhedron must have a fiber of $1$-width at least $frac{1}{2beta m +m^2 + m + 1}$, where $beta = sup_y text{ rk } H_1(f^{-1}(y))$ measures the topological complexity of the map. 2) There exists a piecewise smooth map $X^{3m+1} to mathbb{R}^m$, with $X$ a riemannian $(3m+1)$-manifold of large $3m$-width, and with all fibers being topological $(2m+1)$-balls of arbitrarily small $(m+1)$-width.
The notion of the Urysohn $d$-width measures to what extent a metric space can be approximated by a $d$-dimensional simplicial complex. We investigate how local Urysohn width bounds on a riemannian manifold affect its global width. We bound the $1$-w
We solve the oscillation stability problem for the Urysohn sphere, an analog of the distortion problem for the Hilbert space in the context of the Urysohn universal metric space. This is achieved by solving a purely combinatorial problem involving a
We study the Gromov waist in the sense of $t$-neighborhoods for measures in the Euclidean space, motivated by the famous theorem of Gromov about the waist of radially symmetric Gaussian measures. In particular, it turns our possible to extend Gromovs
Let $K in R^d$ be a convex body, and assume that $L$ is a randomly rotated and shifted integer lattice. Let $K_L$ be the convex hull of the (random) points $K cap L$. The mean width $W(K_L)$ of $K_L$ is investigated. The asymptotic order of the mean
Barthe proved that the regular simplex maximizes the mean width of convex bodies whose John ellipsoid (maximal volume ellipsoid contained in the body) is the Euclidean unit ball; or equivalently, the regular simplex maximizes the $ell$-norm of convex
