Abstract It is proved that every minimal surface with one or two boundary components in a simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a nonpositive constant K satisfies the sharp isoperimetric inequality 4π A ≦ L2 + K A2. Here equality holds if and only if the minimal surface is a geodesic disk in a surface of constant Gaussian curvature K.

Abstract Calibrations are a possible tool to validate the minimality of a certain candidate. They have been introduced in the context of minimal surfaces and adapted to the case of the Steiner problem in several variants. Our goal is to compare the different notions of calibrations for the Steiner problem and for planar minimal partitions that are already present in the literature. The paper is then complemented with remarks on the convexification of the problem, on nonexistence of calibrations and on calibrations in families.
