Abstract: Let S be a compact surface of genus >1, and g be a metric on S of constant curvature Kin{-1,0,1} with conical singularities of negative singular curvature. When K=1 we add the condition that the lengths of the contractible geodesics are >2pi. We prove that there exists a convex polyhedral surface P in the Lorentzian space-form of curvature K and a group G of isometries of this space such that the induced metric on the quotient P/G is isometric to (S,g). Moreover, the pair (P,G) is unique (up to global isometries) among a particular class of convex polyhedra, namely Fuchsian polyhedra. This extends theorems of A.D. Alexandrov and Rivin--Hodgson concerning the sphere to the higher genus cases, and it is also the polyhedral version of a theorem of Labourie--Schlenker.
