Abstract

Given a 2-dimensional surface M and a constant C we construct a Riemannian metric g, so that diameter diam(M,g)=1 and every 1-cycle dividing M into two regions of equal area has length >C. It follows that there exists no universal inequality bounding 1-width of M in terms of its diameter. This answers a question of Stephane Sabourau.
