Abstract

We show that for a very general class of curvature functions defined in the positive cone, the problem of finding a complete strictly locally convex hypersurface in Hn+1H^n+1 satisfying f(κ)=σ(0,1)f(\kappa)=\sigma\in(0, 1) with a prescribed asymptotic boundary Γ\Gamma at infinity has at least one smooth solution with uniformly bounded hyperbolic principal curvatures. Moreover if Γ\Gamma is (Euclidean) starshaped, the solution is unique and also (Euclidean) starshaped while if Γ\Gamma is mean convex the solution is unique. We also show via a strong duality theorem that analogous results hold in De Sitter space. A novel feature of our approach is a "global interior curvature estimate".
