Abstract: We study closed orientable surfaces satisfying the spectral condition $$, where $$ is a positive constant and $K$ is the Gauss curvature. This condition naturally arises for stable minimal surfaces in 3-manifolds with positive scalar curvature. We show isoperimetric inequalities, area growth theorems and diameter bounds for such surfaces. The validity of these inequalities are subject to certain bounds for $$. Associated to a positive super-solution $$, the conformal metric $$ has pointwise nonnegative curvature. Utilizing the geometry of the new metric, we prove H"older precompactness and almost rigidity results concerning the main spectral condition.
