Isosystolic inequalities on two-dimensional Finsler tori

Abstract

In this article we survey all known optimal isosystolic inequalities on two-dimensional Finsler tori involving the following two central notions of Finsler area: the Busemann-Hausdorff area and the Holmes-Thompson area. We also complete the panorama by establishing the following new optimal isosystolic inequality that is deduced from prior work by Burago and Ivanov: the Busemann-Hausdorff area of a Finsler reversible $2$-torus with unit systole is at least equal to $\pi/4$.
