Rigidity and flexibility under positive isotropic curvature
For every $n\ge4$ and $L>0$, we construct a smooth $4$-PIC metric on $S^n$ with Urysohn $1$-width at least $L$ and an embedded stable minimal disk of intrinsic inradius at least $L$. These examples disprove the proposed width and stable-disk radius bounds under a positive lower bound for isotropic curvature. On closed...
