Abstract

We show a non existence result for solutions of the prescribed mean curvature equation in the product manifold H2×R\mathbb{H}^2 \times \R, where H2\mathbb{H}^2 is the real hyperbolic plane. More precisely we prove a-priori estimates for graphs with constant mean curvature h(0,1/2]h \in (0, 1/2] on circular annuli of H2\mathbb{H}^2. For 0<h<1/20 < h < 1/2 we obtain an estimate from above on any circular annulus and one from below on annuli with a small hole, the size of the hole depending on hh. For h=1/2h = 1/2 we obtain both estimates for any circular annulus. All the estimates depend only on the thickness of the annulus and the value of the graph on the outer boundary.
