Abstract
We use recent developments by Gromov and Zhu to derive an upper bound for the 2-systole of the homology class of $\mathbb{S}^2\times\{\ast\}$ in a $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^2$ with a positive scalar curvature metric such that the set of surfaces homologous to $\mathbb{S}^2\times\{\ast\}$ is wide enough in some sense.
Key words: scalar curvature; higher systoles; geometric inequalities.
