Chern-Osserman inequality for minimal surfaces in 𝐇ⁿ (Q4955842)

If \(M\) is a complete minimal surface in \(R^n\) with finite total Gaussian curvature, then the Chern-Osserman inequality \(-\Xi(M)\leq-\frac{1} {2\pi}\int_M K-k\) holds, where \(k\) is the number of ends of \(M\). Furthermore, Jorge and Meeks proved that \[ \begin{aligned} -\Xi(M)&=-\frac {1} {2\pi}\int {M}K-\text{Sup}\frac{\text{area} M\cap B(t)} {\pi t^2}\\ &=\frac{1} {4\pi} \int_M |A|^2- \text{Sup}\frac {\text{area} M\cap B(t)} {\pi t^2}, \end{aligned} \] where \(A\) is the second fundamental form of \(M\). In this paper, the authors obtain the following analogue for a complete minimal surface \(M\) in \(H^n\) with constant curvature \(-1\): \[ \text{Sup}\frac {\text{area} M\cap B(t)} {\cosh t-1}< \infty, \] \[ -\Xi(M)\leq \frac {1} {4\pi}\int_M |A|^2-\text{Sup}\frac {\text{area}M\cap B(t)} {2\pi(\cosh t-1)}, \] where \(\int_M|A|^2< \infty\), and \(B(t)\) is a geodesic ball around some fixed point in \(H^n\).
