Apr 19, 2016 at 17:07 comment added Mikhail Katz @sva, the argument only works for hyperbolic surfaces (hence genus at least 2) since otherwise Gauss-Bonnet does not give a lower bound for the area.
Apr 19, 2016 at 15:37 comment added Mikhail Katz The systole is the least length of a noncontractible loop on the surface $M$. The filling radius of $M$ is defined as the least epsilon such that the inclusion of $M$ in its epsilon-neighborhood sends the fundamental homology class of $M$ to zero. Here the embedding is in the space of bounded functions on $M$ which sends a point to the distance function from that point. Actually this stage can be bypassed and one can show directly an inequality between the systole and the $(n-1)$-diameter.
Apr 19, 2016 at 15:31 comment added asv Systole and filling radius. Also apparently you use their relation to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance (to a graph?). BTW in your statement should one add the condition that the genus of the surfaces in at least 2?
Apr 19, 2016 at 15:26 comment added Mikhail Katz @sva, which concepts are you not familiar with?

Apr 19, 2016 at 15:24 comment added asv Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with some of the background you use. What statement exactly you proved?
