Aubin's conjecture on isoperimetric inequalities in nonpositive curvature

About 5 years old · traced to

Let (Mm,g)(M^m,g) be a smooth complete simply-connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature at most κ\kappa, where κ≤0\kappa\leq 0. For a bounded domain with smooth boundary in MM, compare its boundary area with that of a geodesic ball in the simply-connected mm-dimensional space form MκmM_\kappa^m having the same volume. Aubin's conjecture. The boundary area of the domain is not less than the boundary area of the corresponding geodesic ball in MκmM_\kappa^m. The conjecture is known for κ=0\kappa=0 in dimensions m≤4m\leq 4 and for κ=−1\kappa=-1 in dimensions m≤3m\leq 3, but remains open in general.
