Borisenko Conjecture


The Borisenko conjecture is a reverse isoperimetric inequality under a lower curvature constraint. For n>=2 and lambda>0, it asserts that a lambda-convex lens minimizes volume among lambda-convex bodies in R^n of prescribed surface area. Such a lens is the intersection of two closed balls of radius 1/lambda (Drach and Tatarko 2023).

Drach and Tatarko (2026) proved the conjecture in all dimensions, with equality precisely for lenses up to isometry. Their theorem also covers the corresponding constant-curvature model spaces with the appropriate normal-curvature definition of lambda-convexity. The Euclidean theorem holds at fixed surface area, without fixing the volume.
