Abstract
It is a classical theorem of Loewner that the systole of a Riemannian torus can be bounded in terms of its area. We answer a question of a similar flavor of Robert Young showing that if is a Riemannian 2-torus with boundary in , such that the boundary curve is a standard unit circle, then the length of the shortest non-contractible loop in is bounded in terms of the area of .
