Review text

The authors present some results that are, or will be, published elsewhere in greater detail. In particular, they give a representation formula for surfaces with prescribed mean curvature in hyperbolic space of curvature \(-c^2\), analogous to the formula by \textit{K.~Kenmotsu} [Math. Ann. 245, 89-99 (1979; Zbl 0408.53002)] for surfaces in Euclidean space. They discuss harmonicity of the (hyperbolic and secondary) Gauss maps in the constant mean curvature case: if \(H^2-c^2\geq 0\) then the surface corresponds to a constant mean curvature \(H_0=\sqrt{H^2-c^2}\) surface in Euclidean space via Lawson's correspondence whose Gauss map can be considered as a ``secondary Gauss map, or ``adjusted Gauss map of the original surface. A representation formula similar to that of \textit{R.~Bryant} [Astérisque 154-155, 321-347 (1987; Zbl 0635.53047)] for horospherical surfaces is presented for the case \(H^2-c^2>0\). For the case \(H^2-c^2<0\), an existence result is given in terms of solutions of a Dirichlet problem. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0927.00036].
