Borisenko's reverse isoperimetric conjecture for lambda-convex bodies

Let n2n\geqslant 2, and let Mn(c)M^n(c) be an nn-dimensional model space of constant sectional curvature cRc\in\mathbb{R}. Let KMn(c)K\subset M^n(c) be a λ\lambda-convex body, and let LMn(c)L\subset M^n(c) be a λ\lambda-convex lens. For a compact submanifold with boundary AmMn(c)A^m\subset M^n(c), write A|A| for its mm-dimensional volume. Borisenko's conjecture. If K=L|\partial K|=|\partial L|, then KL|K|\geqslant |L|, with equality if and only if KK is a λ\lambda-convex lens. This is a reverse isoperimetric problem for λ\lambda-convex bodies. The paper states that the conjecture is confirmed in three-dimensional model spaces of constant curvature for c0c\neq 0, while it complements recent progress in the Euclidean case c=0c=0; as presented here, the general conjecture remains open.
