 Area of a geodesic polar ball with nonpositive curvature (source code)

= Area of a geodesic polar ball with nonpositive curvature

If $K\leq0$, then $h_{rr}=-Kh\geq0$, so $h\geq r$. Every geodesic polar ball of radius $\varepsilon$ therefore satisfies
$$
\operatorname{Area}B(p,\varepsilon)\geq\pi\varepsilon^2.
