Optimal isoperimetric inequalities for complete proper minimal submanifolds in hyperbolic space

Abstract

Let $\Sigma$ be a $k$-dimensional complete proper minimal submanifold in the Poincaré ball model $B^n$ of hyperbolic geometry. If we consider $\Sigma$ as a subset of the unit ball $B^n$ in Euclidean space, we can measure the Euclidean volumes of the given minimal submanifold $\Sigma$ and the ideal boundary ${\partial }_{\infty }\Sigma$, say $\rvol(Σ)$ and $\rvol(\partial_\infty Σ)$, respectively. Using this concept, we prove an optimal linear isoperimetric inequality. We also prove that if $\rvol(\partial_\infty Σ) \geq \rvol(\mathbb{S}^{k-1})$, then $\Sigma$ satisfies the classical isoperimetric inequality. By proving the monotonicity theorem for such $\Sigma$, we further obtain a sharp lower bound for the Euclidean volume $\rvol(Σ)$, which is an extension of Fraser and Schoen's recent result \cite{FS} to hyperbolic space. Moreover we introduce the Möbius volume of $\Sigma$ in $B^n$ to prove an isoperimetric inequality via the Möbius volume for $\Sigma$.
