Abstract

The horospherical pp-Christoffel-Minkowski problem was posed by Li and Xu (2022) as a problem prescribing the kk-th horospherical pp-surface area measure of hh-convex domains in hyperbolic space Hn+1\mathbb{H}^{n+1}. It is a natural generalization of the classical LpL^p Christoffel-Minkowski problem in the Euclidean space Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}. In this paper, we consider a fully nonlinear equation associated with the horospherical pp-Christoffel-Minkowski problem. We establish the existence of a uniformly hh-convex solution under appropriate assumptions on the prescribed function. The key to the proof is the full rank theorem, which we will demonstrate using a viscosity approach based on the idea of Bryan-Ivaki-Scheuer (2023). When p=0p=0, the horospherical pp-Christoffel-Minkowski problem in Hn+1\mathbb{H}^{n+1} is equivalent to a Nirenberg-type problem on Sn\mathbb{S}^n in conformal geometry. Therefore, our result implies the existence of solutions to the Nirenberg-type problem.
