The closed string field theory minimal-area problem asks for the conformal metric of least area on a Riemann surface with the condition that all non-contractible closed curves have length at least 2\pi. Through every point in such a metric…

We improve a lower bound for the smallest area of convex covers for closed unit curves from 0.0975 to 0.1, which makes it substantially closer to the current best upper bound 0.11023. We did this by considering the minimal area of convex…
