Abstract

We prove that any metric with curvature less than or equal to $-1$ (in the sense of A. D. Alexandrov) on a closed surface of genus greater than $1$ is isometric to the induced intrinsic metric on a space-like convex surface in a Lorentzian manifold of dimension $(2+1)$ with sectional curvature $-1$ . The proof is by approximation, using a result about isometric immersion of smooth metrics by Labourie and Schlenker.
