Abstract: We consider the $p$-Laplacian equation $-Delt{a}_{p}u=1$ for $1<p<2$, on a regular bounded domain $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^N$, with $Nge2$, under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. In the spirit of Alexandrov's Soap Bubble Theorem and of Serrin's symmetry result for the overdetermined problems, we prove that if the mean curvature $H$ of $partialOmega$ is constant, then $Omega$ is a ball and the unique solution of the Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian problem is radial. The main tools used are integral identities, the $P$-function, and the maximum principle.
