It is an important tool in geometry, but notoriously difficult to compute. I will show how to provide new lower bounds on the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between unit spheres of different dimensions by combining Borsuk-Ulam theorems with Vietoris-Rips complexes. This joint work with 15 coauthors stems from a large collaboration that I organized, and is available at https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2301.00246. Many questions remain open!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-3532","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/boyland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/boyland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/boyland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/boyland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/boyland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3532"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/boyland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3532\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3814,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/boyland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3532\/revisions\/3814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/boyland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
