Abstract

We show that the sharp Euclidean isoperimetric inequality holds for domains in complete simply connected Riemannian n-manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature, 3≤ n≤9, which establishes the Cartan-Hadamard conjecture in these dimensions. The main step is a sharp inequality for constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces, proved via integrals over pairs of boundary points, together with estimates for Jacobi fields along geodesic chords of the boundary. The weights in these integrals depend on the length of the chord and its angles with the boundary, and are chosen dimension by dimension, with a Green function pole. The inequality persists for boundaries of isoperimetric regions trapped in geodesic balls, whose mean curvature is constant only on the free part and which may have singularities. The isoperimetric-profile argument of Kleiner and Ghomi-Spruck completes the proof.
