Killing graphs with prescribed mean curvature and Riemannian submersions (Q1030136)

Surfaces in the Euclidean three-space are locally defined as graphs of functions on a two-space which reduces many problems to study of profile functions. In particular, this helps in constructing interesting examples of surfaces via solving differential equations on a profile function. For surfaces in many other three-spaces the same trick partly works if the ambient space is represented as a Riemannian submersion over a space two-form. In the present article the authors extend this approach to the case when the ambient space \(\bar{M}^{n+1}\) admits a Riemannian submersion onto \(M^n\) such that the vertical fibers are flow lines of a Killing field. Providing certain conditions they prove the existence and uniqueness of graphs with prescribed mean curvature.
