Abstract

Let M2\mathbb{M}^{2} be a complete non compact orientable surface of non negative curvature. We prove in this paper some theorems involving parabolicity of minimal surfaces in M2×R\mathbb{M}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}. First, using a characterization of δ\delta-parabolicity we prove that under additional conditions on M\mathbb{M}, an embedded minimal surface with bounded gaussian curvature is proper. The second theorem states that under some conditions on M\mathbb{M}, if Σ\Sigma is a properly immersed minimal surface with finite topology and one end in M×R\mathbb{M}\times\mathbb{R}, which is transverse to a slice M×{t}\mathbb{M}\times\{t\} except at a finite number of points, and such that Σ(M×{t})\Sigma\cap(\mathbb{M}\times\{t\}) contains a finite number of components, then Σ\Sigma is parabolic. In the last result, we assume some conditions on M\mathbb{M} and prove that if a minimal surface in M×R\mathbb{M}\times\mathbb{R} has height controlled by a logarithmic function, then it is parabolic and has a finite number of ends.
