On complete mean curvature \(\frac 12\) surfaces in \(\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}\) (Q1011994)

At first, the authors prove an analogue of the Hoffman-Meeks half-space theorem for complete embedded surfaces with compact boundary and constant mean curvature \(\frac 12\) in \(\mathbb H^2\times \mathbb R\) lying on one side of a horocylinder. Secondly, as an application, they prove that complete \(H=\frac 12\) surfaces in \(\mathbb H^2\times \mathbb R\) transverse to the vertical Killing field \(Z= {\partial\over{\partial t}}\) are entire graphs. Finally, they show that, to each holomorphic quadratic differential on the unit disk or \(C\) one can associate an entire graph of constant mean curvature \(\frac 12\).
