Let S be an area minimising integral 3-current (resp. flat chain mod 2) such that ∂S=Σ. We use a weak mean curvature flow, obtained via elliptic regularisation, starting from Σ, to show that S satisfies the optimal Euclidean isoperimetric inequality: 6π−−√M[S]≤(M[Σ])3/2. We also obtain an optimal estimate in case the sectional curvatures of M are bounded from above by −κ<0 and characterise the case of equality. The proof follows from an almost monotonicity of a suitable isoperimetric difference along the approximating flows in one dimension higher and an optimal estimate for the Willmore energy of a 2-dimensional integral varifold with first variation summable in L2. date: 2020-02 date_type: published publisher: Springer Verlag official_url: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00039-020-00522-8 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1738696 doi: 10.1007/s00039-020-00522-8 lyricists_name: Schulze, Felix lyricists_id: FSCHU22 actors_name: Schulze, Felix actors_id: FSCHU22 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Geometric and Functional Analysis volume: 30 pagerange: 255-288 citation: Schulze, F; (2020) Optimal isoperimetric inequalities for surfaces in any codimension in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds.
