A reverse isoperimetric inequality in three-dimensional space forms
Abstract
A -convex body in a three-dimensional space form of constant curvature is a compact convex set whose boundary has normal curvatures bounded below by a constant (in a weak sense). Within this class, we prove a sharp reverse isoperimetric inequality: among all -convex bodies in , with a fixed surface area, the body of minimal volume is the -convex lens, i.e., the domain bounded by two totally umbilical caps of curvature . Moreover, this minimizer is unique. This result confirms Borisenko's Conjecture in the three-dimensional model spaces of constant curvature for , and complements recent progress on the conjecture in the Euclidean case . As a by-product, our method also yields an alternative proof of the corresponding reverse isoperimetric inequality in two-dimensional hyperbolic space.
