Abstract: Given $r_0>0$, $IinmathbbNcup0$ and $K_0,H_{0}geq0$, let $X$ be a complete Riemannian $3$-manifold with injectivity radius $mboxInj(X)geq{r}_0$ and with the supremum of absolute sectional curvature at most $K_0$, and let $MlooparrowrightX$ be a complete immersed surface of constant mean curvature $Hin[0,H_0]$ and with index at most $I$. We will obtain geometric estimates for such an $MlooparrowrightX$ as a consequence of the Hierarchy Structure Theorem in [9]. The Hierarchy Structure Theorem (see Theorem 2.2 below) will be applied to understand global properties of $MlooparrowrightX$, especially results related to the area and diameter of $M$. By item E of Theorem 2.2, the area of such a non-compact $MlooparrowrightX$ is infinite. We will improve this area result by proving the following when $M$ is connected; here $g(M)$ denotes the genus of the orientable cover of $M$: 1. There exists $C_1=C_1(I,r_0,K_0,H_0)>0$ such that Area$(M)geq{C}_1(g(M)+1)$. 2. There exists $C>0,G(I)inmathbbN$ independent of $r_0,K_0,H_0$ and also $C$ independent of $I$ such that if $g(M)geqG(I)$, then Area$(M)geqfracC(max1,frac1r_0,sqrt{K}_0,H_0{)}^2(g(M)+1)$. 3. If the scalar curvature $ho$ of $X$ satisfies $3H^2+frac12hogeqc$ in $X$ for some $c>0$, then there exist $A,D>0$ depending on $c,I,r_0,K_0,H_0$ such that Area$(M)leqA$ and Diameter$(M)leqD$. Hence, $M$ is compact and, by item 1, $g(M)leqA/C-1$.
