| contents | In this note we use classical tools from min-max and hyperbolic geometry to substantiate a folklore example in Almgren--Pitts min-max theory, the three-legged starfish metric on a 2-sphere, whose systolic length, Almgren--Pitts width, and Gromov--Guth width are attained by ``figure-eight'' geodesics. We also recover a hyperbolic geometry fact about ``figure-eight'' geodesics using min-max. |
