Properly immersed minimal surfaces in a slab of \(\mathbb H\times\mathbb R\), \(\mathbb H\) the hyperbolic plane (Q2346317)

This paper continues the authors' investigations of minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{H} \times \mathbb{R}\) began in [\textit{B. Nelli} and the third author, Bull. Braz. Math. Soc. (N.S.) 33, No. 2, 263--292 (2002; Zbl 1038.53011)] using, among others, methods developed in [\textit{T. H. Colding} and \textit{W. P. Minicozzi II}, Ann. Math. (2) 160, No. 2, 573--615 (2004; Zbl 1076.53069)]. From the authors' abstract: ``We prove that the ends of a properly immersed simply or one connected minimal surface in \(\mathbb H \times \mathbb R\) contained in a slab of height less than \({\pi}\) of \(\mathbb H \times \mathbb R\) are multi-graphs. When such a minimal surface is properly embedded, then the ends are graphs. When such a minimal surface is properly embedded and simply connected, it is an entire graph.''
