# Isoperimetric profile

In the paper of Andrews and Bryan Curvature bounds by isoperimetric comparison for normalized Ricci flow on the two-sphere http://arxiv.org/abs/0908.3606, the isoperimetric profile is defined by $h(\psi)=\inf ( |\partial\Omega|:\Omega\subset M, |\Omega|=\psi|M| )$

Theorem 2: Let $M$ be a smooth compact Riemannian surface. Then the isoperimetric profile satisfies $$h(\psi)=\sqrt{4\pi|M|\psi} - \frac{|M|^{3/2}\sup_MK}{4\sqrt{\pi}}\psi^{3/2} + O(\psi^2)$$ as $\psi\to 0$.

In the proof of above theorem, they say that "The upper bound follows since $|\partial B_r(p)|\geq h(|B_r(p)|/|M|).$ But I don't know how this inequality implies the upper bound for the equality in Theorem 2.

Does anyone read this paper? Do you know how to achieve this? Thanks.

I'm not sure it works, but have you tried plugging into $|\partial B_r(p)|\geq h(|B_r(p)|/|M|)$ the expansion of $|\partial B_r(p)|$ and $|B_r(p)|$ in term of $r$ ? –  Thomas Richard Apr 18 '13 at 15:52
@Thomas Richard, thats exactly what you do. I think the only issue that might be a tiny bit tricky is getting a good expansion of $r$ in terms of $|B_r(p)|$, but I think that this is not too hard.. –  Otis Chodosh Apr 18 '13 at 16:15
