Abstract

Given a compact Riemannian manifold MM, we consider a warped product Mˉ=I×hM\bar M = I \times_h M where II is an open interval in \Rr\Rr. We suppose that the mean curvature of the fibers do not change sign. Given a positive differentiable function ψ\psi in Mˉ\bar M, we find a closed hypersurface Σ\Sigma which is solution of an equation of the form F(B)=ψF(B)=\psi, where BB is the second fundamental form of Σ\Sigma and FF is a function satisfying certain structural properties. As examples, we may exhibit examples of hypersurfaces with prescribed higher order mean curvature.
