Abstract
We transform the problem of determining isometric immersions from H^n(-1) into H^{n+1}(-1) into that of solving equations of degenerate Monge-Ampère type on the unit ball B^n(1). By presenting one family of special solutions to the equations, we obtain a great many noncongruent examples of such isometric immersions with or without umbilic set.
