Abstract: We consider differential operators $L$ acting on functions on a Riemannian surface, $Sigma$, of the form ${\displaystyle }$L = Delta + V -a K ,${\displaystyle }$where $Delta$ is the Laplacian of $Sigma$, $K$ is the Gaussian curvature, $a$ is a positive constant and $Vin{C}^{infty}(Sigma)$. Such operators $L$ arise as the stability operator of $Sigma$ immersed in a Riemannian three-manifold with constant mean curvature (for particular choices of $V$ and $a$). We assume $L$ is nonpositive acting on functions compactly supported on $Sigma$. If the potential, $V:=c+P$ with $c$ a nonnegative constant, verifies either an integrability condition, i.e. $Pin{L}^1(Sigma)$ and $P$ is non positive, or a decay condition with respect to a point $p_{0}inSigma$, i.e. $|P(q)|leqM/d(p_0,q)$ (where $d$ is the distance function in $Sigma$), we control the topology and conformal type of $Sigma$. Moreover, we establish a {it Distance Lemma}. We apply such results to complete oriented stable $H-$surfaces immersed in a Killing submersion.
