Papasoglu asked in [Pap13] whether for any Riemannian 3-disk $M$ with diameter $d$, boundary area $A$ and volume $V$, there exists a homotopy $S_t$ contracting the boundary to a point so that the area of $S_t$ is bounded by $f(d,A,V)$ for some function $f$. He further asks whether it is possible to subdivide $M$ by a disk $D$ into two regions of volume $V/4$ so that the area of $D$ is bounded by some function $h(d,A,V)$.\n  In this paper, we answer the questions above in the negative. We further prove that given $N>0$ and $c\\in(0,1)$, one can construct a metric $g'$ so that any 2-disk $D$ su"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1508.03746","kind":"arxiv","version":3},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
