This is the exact analogue of the asymptotic plateau problem in Hyperbolic space and is in fact a precise dual problem. By using this duality we obtain for free the existence of strictly convex solutions to the asymptotic Plateau problem for $\\sigma_l = \\sigma$; $1\\leq l < n$ in both deSitter and Hyperbolic space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-26T17:38:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C21", "35J65", "58J32" ], "keywords": [ "convex spacelike hypersurfaces", "sitter space", "constant curvature", "asymptotic plateau problem", "hyperbolic space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1203.5739S" } } }
