Complete Surfaces with Ends of Non Positive Curvature
read the original abstract
In this paper we extend Efimov's Theorem by proving that any complete surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with Gauss curvature bounded above by a negative constant outside a compact set has finite total curvature, finite area and is properly immersed. Moreover, its ends must be asymptotic to half-lines. We also give a partial solution to Milnor's conjecture by studying isometric immersions in a space form of complete surfaces which satisfy that outside a compact set they have non positive Gauss curvature and the square of a principal curvature function is bounded from below by a positive constant.

Elliptic special Weingarten surfaces of minimal type in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of finite total curvature
Elliptic special Weingarten surfaces of minimal type with finite total curvature satisfy an extended Jorge-Meeks formula; planes are the only ones with total curvature below 4π, and two-ended embedded surfaces are rot...
