Abstract: We state and prove a Chern-Osserman-type inequality in terms of the volume growth for complete surfaces with controlled mean curvature properly immersed in a Cartan-Hadamard manifold $N$ with sectional curvatures bounded from above by a negative quantity $K_{N}leqb<0$

Review text

\textit{Q. Chen} [Geom. Dedicata 75, No. 3, 263--273 (1999; Zbl 0976.53063)] and \textit{C. Qing} and \textit{C. Yi} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 128, No. 8, 2445--2450 (2000; Zbl 0955.53036)] proved the finiteness of topology and Chern-Osserman-type inequality below for a complete, properly immersed minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{H}^{n}(b)\) with finite total extrinsic curvature. NEWLINE\[NEWLINE-\chi(S) \leq \frac{1}{4\pi} \int_{S}||A^{S}||^{2}d\sigma -\mathrm{Sup}_{r} \frac{\mathrm{Vol}(S^{2}\bigcap B^{b,n}_{r})}{\mathrm{Vol}(B^{b,2}_{r})},NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\chi(S)\) is the Euler characteristic of the surface \(S\), \(B^{b,n}_{r}\) is the geodesic \(r\)-ball in \(\mathbb{H}^{n}(b)\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{Vol}(S^{2}\bigcap B^{b,n}_{r})}{\mathrm{Vol}(B^{b,2}_{r})}\) is the volume growth of the domains \(S^{2}\bigcap B^{b,n}_{r}\).NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors investigate the case of a not necessary minimal surface in a Cartan-Hadamard manifold to obtain the same results. In fact, \textit{B. White} [J. Differ. Geom. 26, 315--326 (1987; Zbl 0631.53007)] showed that the same results could be obtained for not necessarily minimal surfaces in the Euclidean spaces \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\).NEWLINENEWLINEIn this paper, the authors prove the same results as above with extra assumptions on the curvature of the ambient space Cartan-Hadamard manifold. The monotonicity, finiteness of the volume growth function and some isoperimatric inequalities are used along with the Huber classical theorem [loc. cit.].
