Abstract
We prove that C. Loewner's inequality for the torus is satisfied by conformal metrics on hyperelliptic surfaces X as well. In genus 2, we first construct the Loewner loops on the (mildly singular) companion tori, locally isometric to X away from Weierstrass points. The loops are then transplanted to X, and surgered to obtain a Loewner loop on X. In higher genus, we exploit M. Gromov's area estimates for ε-regular metrics on X.
