Two properties of optimisers for the reverse isoperimetric problem

Abstract

The reverse isoperimetric problem asks for existence and properties of bounded convex sets in a Riemannian manifold which maximise the perimeter under all those sets of fixed volume which roll freely in a ball of some given radius. If the boundary of the set is of class C2C^{2}, this amounts to a positive lower bound on the principal curvatures and in this class we prove that there are no C2C^{2}-maximisers of perimeter with prescribed volume. In addition, we prove that a given possibly non-C2C^{2} maximiser has its smallest principal curvature constant in regions where it is of class C2C^{2}. We prove this result in the Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic space.
