Conformal immersions of prescribed mean curvature in R3

Abstract

We prove the existence of (branched) conformal immersions F: S2 -> R3 with mean curvature H > 0 arbitrarily prescribed up to a 3-dimensional affine indeterminacy. A similar result is proved for the space forms S3, H3 and partial results for surfaces of higher genus.
