Abstract:

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold homeomorphic to $S^2$. The purpose of this paper is to establish the new inequality for the length of a shortest closed geodesic, $l(M)$, in terms of the area $A$ of $M$. This result improves previously known inequalities by C.B. Croke (1988), by A. Nabutovsky and the author (2002) and by S. Sabourau (2004).
