Sobre hipersuperfícies com curvatura e bordo prescritos em variedades riemannianas

Abstract

We investigate the existence of hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature in a wide context. First we study the Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations of curvature type on a Riemannian manifold, which are closely related with the existence of hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature and boundary. In this setting we prove some existence results which extend to a Riemannian manifold previous results by Caffarelli, Nirenberg,Spruck and Bo Guan for the Euclidean space. We also study the existence of hypersurfaces with prescribed anisotropic mean curvature. We prove existence results for the Dirichlet problem related to the anisotropic mean curvature equation. This ensures the existence of Killing graphs with prescribed anisotropic mean curvature and boundary in a Riemannian manifold endowed with a nonsingular Killing vector field. Finally, we prove the existence of hyperspheres with prescribed anisotropic mean curvature in the Euclidean space, extending a previous result of Treibergs and Wei.
