Abstract

We obtain the isoperimetric profile for the standard initial slices in the Reissner-Nordstrom and Schwarzschild anti-de Sitter spacetimes, following recent work of Bray and Morgan on isoperimetric comparison.We then discuss these results in the context of Bray's isoperimetric approach to the Penrose inequality.
