Abstract
Let γ be a Jordan curve in 8 2, considered as the ideal boundary of H3. Under certain circumstances, it is known that for any c ϵ (-1, 1), there is a disc of constant mean curvature c embedded in H3 with γ as its ideal boundary. Using analysis and numerical experiments, we examine whether or not these surfaces in fact foliate H3, and to what extent the known conditions on the curve can be relaxed.
