Bishop-gromov Inequality

In mathematics, the Bishop-Gromov inequality is a classical theorem in Riemannian geometry. It is the key point in the proof of Gromov's compactness theorem.

Statement

Let us denote by S^m_k a complete simply connected m-dimensional Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature k, i.e. an m-sphere of radius 1/\sqrt{k} if k>0, Euclidean m-space if k=0 and hyperbolic m-space with curvature k if k<0. Let M be a complete m-dimensional Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature \ge (m-1)k, p\in M. Let us denote by v_p(R) the volume of the ball with center p and radius R in M and by V(R) the volume of the ball of radius R in S^m_k. Then function f_p(R)=v_p(R)/V(R) is nonincreasing for any p. In particular this implies that for any p and R we have
v_p(R)\le V(R).
