Abstract: In this paper we study constant mean curvature surfaces $Sigma$ in a product space, $mathbb{M}^{2}imesmathbbR$, where $mathbb{M}^2$ is a complete Riemannian manifold. We assume the angle function $u=metaNpartia{l}_t$ does not change sign on $Sigma$. We classify these surfaces according to the infimum $c(Sigma)$ of the Gaussian curvature of the projection of $Sigma$. When $Heq0$ and $c(Sigma)geq0$, then $Sigma$ is a cylinder over a complete curve with curvature 2H. If H=0 and $c(Sigma)geq0$, then $Sigma$ must be a vertical plane or $Sigma$ is a slice $mathbb{M}^{2}imest$, or $mathbb{M}^{2}equivmathbb{R}^2$ with the flat metric and $Sigma$ is a tilted plane (after possibly passing to a covering space). When $c(Sigma)<0$ and $H>sqrt-c(Sigma)/2$, then $Sigma$ is a vertical cylinder over a complete curve of $mathbb{M}^2$ of constant geodesic curvature $2H$. This result is optimal. We also prove a non-existence result concerning complete multi-graphs in $mathbb{M}^{2}imesmathbbR$, when $c(mathbb{M}^2)<0$.
