Filling-radius comparison with the round sphere

About 20 years old · traced to

Let (Mn,g)(M^n,g) be a complete Riemannian manifold, and let (Sn,g0)(S^n,g_0) be a round sphere. Choose the radius of the round sphere so that the filling radius of (Mn,g)(M^n,g) equals that of (Sn,g0)(S^n,g_0). Filling-radius sphere comparison conjecture.

V(Mn,g)(R)≥V(Sn,g0)(R)V_{(M^n,g)}(R) \ge V_{(S^n,g_0)}(R)

for all RR. This is proposed as a sharp comparison for ball volumes at fixed filling radius; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
