Lipschitz homotopies of mappings from 3-sphere to 2-sphere

This work focuses on important step in quantitative topology: given homotopic mappings from S^m to S^n of Lipschitz constant L, build the (asymptotically) simplest homotopy between them (meaning having the least Lipschitz constant). The present paper resolves this problem for the first case where Ho...

description This work focuses on important step in quantitative topology: given homotopic mappings from S^m to S^n of Lipschitz constant L, build the (asymptotically) simplest homotopy between them (meaning having the least Lipschitz constant). The present paper resolves this problem for the first case where Hopf invariant plays a role: m = 3, n = 2, constructing a homotopy with Lipschitz constant O(L).
