Abstract

Given an integral m-current T 0 in ℝ m+k and a tensor H of typ (m, 1) on ℝ m+k with values orthogonal to each of its arguments we prove the existence of an integral m-current T with boundary ∂T=∂T 0 having prescribed mean curvature vector H, i. e. {Mathematical expression} is a solution of[Figure not available: see fulltext.] for all vectorfields X: ℝ m+k → ℝ m+k with spt(X)∩spt(∂T)=Ø. It turns out that we can solve the above equation assuming {Mathematical expression} where γ m denotes the constant of Almgren's Isoperimetric Theorem and {Mathematical expression} is an integral m-current minimizing mass for the boundary ∂T 0.
