On the length of simple closed quasigeodesics on convex surfaces
[Sur la longueur des quasigéodésiques simples fermées sur des surfaces convexes]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 343 (2006) no. 4, pp. 259-264.

On etablit, pour des surfaces convexes arbitraires, des inégalités impliquant le diamètre, l'aire et les longueurs des (quasi)géodésiques simples fermées.

We establish, for general convex surfaces, inequalities involving the diameter, the area and the lengths of simple closed (quasi)geodesics.
