    The following question is still open: NEWLINENEWLINE``Let \(M^n\) be a complete, simply-connected, \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. Then \(\text{area}(\partial D)^n\geq{\mathbf c}_{n}\text{vol}(D)^{n-1}\), for any compact domain \(D\subset M\) with smooth boundary. Equality holds if and only if \(D\) is isometric to an Euclidean ball of volume \(\text{vol}(D)\).''NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEIn the above inequality \({\mathbf c}_{n}=\text{area}(\partial {\mathbb B})^n/\text{vol}({\mathbb B})^{n-1}\), where \({\mathbb B}\) is the unit ball in \({\mathbb R}^{n}\). There is a more general conjecture when the sectional curvature of \(M\) is bounded from above by an strictly negative constant. The one stated above has only been solved for \(n=2\) by \textit{A. Weyl} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris 182, 1069-1071 (1926)], for \(n=4\) by \textit{C. Croke} [Comment. Math. Helv. 59, 187-192 (1984; Zbl 0552.53017)], and for \(n=3\) by \textit{B. Kleiner} [Invent. Math. 108, No. 1, 37-47 (1992; Zbl 0770.53031)]. In the exposition under review the author gives an overview of Kleiner's proof.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0955.00015].
