Bounding homotopy types by geometry. (English) Zbl 0655.53032

The main result is that for each dimension \(n\geq 2\), there are only finitely many homotopy types of Riemannian manifolds of dimension n given a fixed upper bound on the diameter, a lower bound on sectional curvature, and a lower bound on the volume.
