Structure Theorem for Riemannian surfaces with arbitrary curvature

Differential Geometry 2008-06-03 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

In this paper we prove that any Riemannian surface, with no restriction of curvature at all, can be decomposed into blocks belonging just to some of these types: generalized Y-pieces, generalized funnels and halfplanes.
