      Let \(M^n\) be a Hadamard manifold of dimension \(n\geqslant 3\). The asymptotic boundary \(\partial_\infty M\) of \(M\) is defined as the set of all equivalence classes of unit speed geodesic rays in \(M\). Two such rays \(\gamma_1,\gamma_2:[0,\infty)\to M\) are equivalent if \(\sup_{t\geqslant 0}d(\gamma_1(t),\gamma_2(t))<\infty\), where \(d\) is the Riemannian distance in \(M\). The so-called geometric compactification \(\overline{M}\) is defined by \(\overline{M}:=M\cup\partial_\infty M\), endowed with the cone topology. For any subset \(S\subset M\), \(\partial_\infty S=\partial_\infty M\cap\overline{S}\). The asymptotic Plateau problem for \(k\)-dimensional area-minimizing submanifolds in \(M\), \(k\geqslant 2\), consists in finding, for a given \((k-1)\)-dimensional, closed, topological submanifold \(\Gamma\) of \(\partial_\infty M\), a locally area-minimizing, complete submanifold \(S^k\subset M\) such that \(\partial_\infty S=\Gamma\). \(M\) admits a helicoidal one-parameter subgroup \(\{\phi_t\}\) of isometries if there exists a geodesic \(\gamma\) of \(M\) such that \(\phi_t(\gamma(s))=\gamma(t+s)\) for all \(s,t\in\mathbb R\). We say that \(M\) satisfies the strictly convexity condition (SC condition) if, given \(x\in\partial_\infty M\) and a relatively open subset \(W\subset\partial_\infty M\) containing \(x\), there exists a \(C^2\) open set \(\Omega\subset\overline{M}\) such that \(x\in \text{Int}(\partial_\infty\Omega)\subset W\) and \(M\setminus\Omega\) is convex. The main result of the reviewed paper is following: Let \(M\) be a Hadamard manifold with sectional curvature \(K_M\leqslant-\alpha\), for some \(\alpha>0\), satisfying the SC condition. Let \(\{\phi_t\}\) be a helicoidal one-parameter subgroup of isometries of \(M\). Let \(\Gamma\subset \partial_\infty M\) be a compact topological embedded hypersurface of \(\partial_\infty M\) and assume that any nonsingular orbit of \(\{\phi_t\}\) in \(\partial_\infty M\) intersects \(\Gamma\) at one and only one point. Then, given \(H\in\mathbb R,\;|H|<\sqrt{\alpha}\), there exists a complete properly embedded \(H\)-hypersurface \(S\) of \(M\) such that \(\partial_\infty S=\Gamma\). Moreover any orbit of \(\{\phi_t\}\) intersects \(S\) at one and only one point.
