Abstract

We obtain sharp volume bound for a conic 2-sphere in terms of its Gaussian curvature bound. We also give the geometric models realizing the extremal volume. In particular, when the curvature is bounded in absolute value by 1, we compute the minimal volume of a conic sphere in the sense of Gromov. In order to apply the level set analysis and isoperimetric inequality as in our previous works, we develop new analytical tools to treat regions with vanishing curvature.
