We will present curvature-free upper bounds for
the minimal mass of a stationary 1-cycle on an arbitrary closed
Riemannian manifold in terms of the volume and in terms of
the diameter of the manifold. At the end of the talk we plan to discuss
how our methods might lead to a similar
curvature-free upper bounds for the length of the
shortest closed geodesic. This is a joint work with Regina Rotman.
