Abstract

In this article, we prove that if (M,g)(M,g) is a genus GG orientable surface with a single boundary component S1S^1, and if (D,g0)(D,g_0) is a disc such that interior points are connected by unique geodesics and d(D,g0)(x,y)d(M,g)(x,y)d_{(D,g_0)}(x,y) \geq d_{(M,g)}(x,y) for all x,yM=Dx,y \in \partial M = \partial D, then (1+2Gπ)Area(M,g)Area(D,g0).(1 + \frac{2 G}{\pi}) \textrm{Area}(M,g) \geq \textrm{Area}(D,g_0).
