Complete negatively curved immersed ends in R^3

Abstract: This paper extends, in a sharp way, the famous Efimov's Theorem to immersed ends in

e a l^{3}

. More precisely, let

M

be a non-compact connected surface with compact boundary. Then there is no complete isometric immersion of

M

into

B b b R^{3}

satisfying that

i n t_{M} | K | = + i n f t y

and

K l e - k a p p a < 0

, where

k a p p a

is a positive constant and

K

is the Gaussian curvature of

M

. In particular Efimov's Theorem holds for complete Hadamard immersed surfaces, whose Gaussian curvature

K

is bounded away from zero outside a compact set.
