Abstract

The result of Guan and Ma (Invent. Math. 151 (2003)) states that if ϕ1/k:Sn(0,)\phi^{-1/k} : \mathbb{S}^n \to (0,\infty) is spherically convex, then ϕ\phi arises as the σk\sigma_k curvature (the kk-th elementary symmetric function of the principal radii of curvature) of a strictly convex hypersurface. In this paper, we establish an analogous result in the capillary setting in the half-space for θ(0,π/2)\theta\in(0,\pi/2): if ϕ1/k:Cθ(0,)\phi^{-1/k} : \mathcal{C}_{\theta} \to (0,\infty) is a capillary function and spherically convex, then ϕ\phi is the σk\sigma_k curvature of a strictly convex capillary hypersurface.
