Chern-Osserman type equality for complete surfaces in R^n

Differential Geometry 2018-04-18 v1

Abstract

We obtain a Chern-Osserman type equality of a complete properly immersed surface in Euclidean space, provided the L^2-norm of the second fundamental form is finite. Also, by using a monotonicity formula, we prove that if the L^2-norm of mean curvature of a noncompact surface is finite, then it has at least quadratic area growth.
