On the local systolic optimality of Zoll contact forms

A Abbondandolo, G Benedetti - Geometric and Functional Analysis, 2023 - Springer
We prove a normal form for contact forms close to a Zoll one and deduce that Zoll contact
forms on any closed manifold are local maximizers of the systolic ratio. Corollaries of this …

Intrinsic structure of minimal discs in metric spaces

A Lytchak, S Wenger - Geometry & Topology, 2017 - msp.org
We study the intrinsic structure of parametric minimal discs in metric spaces admitting a
quadratic isoperimetric inequality. We associate to each minimal disc a compact, geodesic …

[HTML][HTML] Isosystolic inequalities for optical hypersurfaces

JCÁ Paiva, F Balacheff, K Tzanev - Advances in Mathematics, 2016 - Elsevier
We explore a natural generalization of systolic geometry to Finsler metrics and optical
hypersurfaces with special emphasis on its relation to the Mahler conjecture and the …

Volume product

M Fradelizi, M Meyer, A Zvavitch - Harmonic analysis and convexity, 2023 - degruyter.com
Our purpose here is to give an overview of known results and open questions concerning
the volume product 𝒫 (K)= minz∈ K vol (K) vol ((K− z)∗) of a convex body K in ℝn. We …

Volume comparison via boundary distances

S Ivanov - Proceedings of the International Congress of …, 2010 - World Scientific
The main subject of this lecture is a connection between Gromov's filling volumes and a
boundary rigidity problem of determining a Riemannian metric in a compact domain by its …

Majorization by hemispheres and quadratic isoperimetric constants

P Creutz - Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 2020 - ams.org
Let $ X $ be a Banach space or more generally a complete metric space admitting a conical
geodesic bicombing. We prove that every closed $ L $-Lipschitz curve $\gamma: S …

Local monotonicity of Riemannian and Finsler volume with respect to boundary distances

S Ivanov - Geometriae Dedicata, 2013 - Springer
We show that the volume of a simple Riemannian metric on D n is locally monotone with
respect to its boundary distance function. Namely if g is a simple metric on D n and g′ is …

Sharp systolic bounds on negatively curved surfaces

A Jabbour, S Sabourau - Mathematische Annalen, 2024 - Springer
We show that every local supremum of the systole over the space of Riemannian metrics of
curvature at most-1 on a given nonsimply connected closed surface is attained by a …
