Alexander's sharp isoperimetric conjecture for minimal submanifolds
Alexander's sharp isoperimetric conjecture for minimal submanifolds
Let be an -dimensional smooth minimal submanifold with smooth boundary . Write for its -dimensional volume, for the -dimensional volume of its boundary, and let be the open unit ball in . Alexander's conjecture. The sharp inequality
holds, with equality if and only if is an -dimensional ball in . This is the codimension-nonzero analogue of the Euclidean isoperimetric inequality; the source attributes it to Alexander, but the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
