Abstract

A geometric inequality is proved for closed curves on S 2 {S^2} which are regularly homotopic to simple closed curves. This generalizes the classical isoperimetric inequality for simple closed curves on S 2 {S^2} . The proof is based on the study of flat tori in S 3 {S^3} and their images under the Gauss map.
