A Systolic Inequality for the Filling Area Conjecture

Abstract

We prove an upper bound on the systolic ratio of an orientable isometric filling of the circle equipped with a Riemannian metric. The bound depends only on the genus of isometric filling. We also apply the bound to the class of orientable isometric filling with a certain lower bound on the systole. We deduce that the Filling Area Conjecture holds true for this class when the genus is sufficiently large.
