On constant higher order mean curvature hypersurfaces in $\mathbb H^n \times \mathbb R$

Abstract: We classify hypersurfaces with rotational symmetry and positive constant $r$-th mean curvature in $\mathbb H^n \times \mathbb R$. Specific constant higher order mean curvature hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translation are also treated. Some of these invariant hypersurfaces are employed as barriers to prove a Ros--Rosenberg type theorem in $\mathbb H^n \times \mathbb R$: we show that compact connected hypersurfaces of constant $r$-th mean curvature embedded in $\mathbb H^n \times [0,\infty)$ with boundary in the slice $\mathbb H^n \times {0}$ are topological disks under suitable assumptions.
