Introduction To Systolic Geometry - Loewner's Torus Inequality

Loewner's Torus Inequality

Similarly to Pu's inequality, Loewner's torus inequality relates the total area, to the systole, i.e. least length of a noncontractible loop on the torus :

The boundary case of equality is attained if and only if the metric is homothetic to the flat metric obtained as the quotient of by the lattice formed by the Eisenstein integers.

Famous quotes containing the word inequality:

    All the aspects of this desert are beautiful, whether you behold it in fair weather or foul, or when the sun is just breaking out after a storm, and shining on its moist surface in the distance, it is so white, and pure, and level, and each slight inequality and track is so distinctly revealed; and when your eyes slide off this, they fall on the ocean.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
