| contents | The famous Christoffel problem is possibly the oldest problem of prescribed curvatures for convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. Recently, this problem has been naturally formulated in the context of uniformly $h$-convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space by Espinar-Gálvez-Mira.
Surprisingly, Espinar-Gálvez-Mira find that the Christoffel problem in hyperbolic space is essentially equivalent to the Nirenberg-Kazdan-Warner problem on prescribing scalar curvature on $\mathbb{S}^n$. This equivalence opens a new door to study the Nirenberg-Kazdan-Warner problem.
In this paper, we establish a existence of solutions to the Christoffel problem in hyperbolic space by proving a full rank theorem. As a corollary, a existence of solutions to the Nirenberg-Kazdan-Warner problem follows. |
