Sharp Cartan–Hadamard isoperimetry and rigidity

Proves generalized Cartan–Hadamard isoperimetry in every dimension: in a complete simply connected manifold with sectional curvature at most κ ≤ 0, every finite-volume finite-perimeter set satisfies the sharp comparison with the equal-volume model ball. Bounded positive-volume equality regions for κ = 0 are Euclidean balls. Also proves sharp Euclidean filling bounds for compactly supported integral n-cycles, n ≥ 2, in arbitrary proper CAT(0)(0) spaces.
