Statement
In 1949 Charles Loewner proved that every metric on the 2-torus satisfies the optimal inequality
where "sys" is its systole, i.e. least length of a noncontractible loop. The constant appearing on the right hand side is the Hermite constant in dimension 2, so that Loewner's torus inequality can be rewritten as
The inequality was first mentioned in the literature in Pu (1952).

Famous quotes containing the word statement:
“Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasnt written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
