Topping's conjecture for closed immersed surfaces

About 6 years old · traced to

Let Σ⊂R3\Sigma\subset\mathbb{R}^3 be an immersed connected closed surface. Topping's conjecture.

1diam⁡(Σ)∫Σ∣H∣>π.\frac{1}{\operatorname{diam}(\Sigma)}\int_\Sigma |H| > \pi.

This conjecture asks for the optimal lower bound for the total absolute mean curvature in terms of the extrinsic diameter; the paper discusses its relation to geometric inequalities and proves it in the axisymmetric setting, while the general case remains open.
