Abstract
In this short note, we provide a quantitative global Poincaré inequality for one-forms on a closed Riemannian four manifold, in terms of an upper bound on the diameter, a positive lower bound on the volume, and a two-sided bound on the Ricci curvature. This seems to be the first non-trivial result giving such an inequality without any higher curvature assumptions. The proof is based on a Hodge theoretic result on orbifolds, a comparison for fundamental groups, and a spectral convergence with respect to Gromov–Hausdorff convergence, via a degeneration result to orbifolds by Anderson.
