A systolic inequality with remainder in the real projective plane

Differential Geometry 2020-07-30 v1

Abstract

The first paper in systolic geometry was published by Loewner's student P. M. Pu over half a century ago. Pu proved an inequality relating the systole and the area of an arbitrary metric on the real projective plane. We prove a stronger version of Pu's systolic inequality with a remainder term.
