Abstract

In this paper we address the reverse isoperimetric inequality for convex bodies with uniform curvature constraints in the hyperbolic plane H2\mathbb{H}^2. We prove that the\textit{ thick λ\lambda-sausage} body, that is, the convex domain bounded by two equal circular arcs of curvature λ\lambda and two equal arcs of hypercircle of curvature 1/λ1 / \lambda, is the unique minimizer of area among all bodies KH2K \subset \mathbb{H}^2 with a given length and with curvature of K\partial K satisfying 1/λκλ1 / \lambda \leq \kappa \leq \lambda (in a weak sense). We call this class of bodies \textit{thick λ\lambda-concave} bodies, in analogy to the Euclidean case where a body is λ\lambda-concave if 0κλ0 \leq \kappa \leq \lambda. The main difficulty in the hyperbolic setting is that the inner parallel bodies of a convex body are not necessarily convex. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce an extra assumption of thickness κ1/λ\kappa \geq 1/\lambda.
