Abstract

Given a positive function FF on SnS^n which satisfies a convexity condition, for 1rn1\leq r\leq n, we define the rr-th anisotropic mean curvature function HrFH^F_r for hypersurfaces in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} which is a generalization of the usual rr-th mean curvature function. We prove that a compact embedded hypersurface without boundary in Rn+1\R^{n+1} with HrF=constantH^F_r={constant} is the Wulff shape, up to translations and homotheties. In case r=1r=1, our result is the anisotropic version of Alexandrov Theorem, which gives an affirmative answer to an open problem of F. Morgan.
