Macroscopic stability and simplicial norms of hypersurfaces

We introduce a $Z$-coefficient version of Guth’s macroscopic stability inequality for almost-minimizing hypersurfaces. In manifolds with a lower bound on macroscopic scalar curvature, we use the inequality to prove a lower bound on areas of hypersurfaces in terms of the Gromov simplicial norm of their homology classes. We give examples to show that a very positive lower bound on macroscopic scalar curvature does not necessarily imply an upper bound on the areas of minimizing hypersurfaces.
