      Let M be a compact manifold with boundary \(\partial M\), non-positive sectional curvature and geodesic rays minimizing length up to the point they hit the boundary. Then the author proves an isoperimetric inequality \(Vol(\partial M)^ n\geq C(n) Vol(M)^{n-1}\) for all \(n\geq 3\) which is optimal for \(n=4\). \((C(4)=4^ 3 \alpha (3)\), where \(\alpha\) (3) denotes the volume of the unit 3-sphere.)
