The equivariant Minkowski problem in Minkowski space
  The classical Minkowski problem in Minkowski space asks, for a positive function $\phi$ on $\mathbb{H}^d$, for a convex set $K$ in Minkowski space with $C^2$ space-like boundary $S$, such that $\phi(\eta)^{-1}$ is the Gauss--Kronecker curvature at the point with normal $\eta$. Analogously to the Euclidean case, it is possible to formulate a weak version of this problem: given a Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{H}^d$ the generalized Minkowski problem in Minkowski space asks for a convex subset $K$ such that the area measure of $K$ is $\mu$.   In the present paper we look at an equivariant version of the problem: given a uniform lattice $\Gamma$ of isometries of $\mathbb{H}^d$, given a $\Gamma$ invariant Radon measure $\mu$, given a isometry group $\Gamma_{\tau}$ of Minkowski space, with $\Gamma$ as linear part, there exists a unique convex set with area measure $\mu$, invariant under the action of $\Gamma_{\tau}$.   The proof uses a functional which is the covolume associated to every invariant convex set.   This result translates as a solution of the Minkowski problem in flat space times with compact hyperbolic Cauchy surface. The uniqueness part, as well as regularity results, follow from properties of the Monge--Amp\`ere equation. The existence part can be translated as an existence result for Monge--Amp\`ere equation.   The regular version was proved by T.~Barbot, F.~B\'eguin and A.~Zeghib for $d=2$ and by V.~Oliker and U.~Simon for $\Gamma_{\tau}=\Gamma$. Our method is totally different. Moreover, we show that those cases are very specific: in general, there is no smooth $\Gamma_\tau$-invariant surface of constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature equal to $1$.
