Abstract

We construct for every connected surface SS of finite negative Euler characteristic and every H[0,1)H \in [0,1), a hyperbolic 3-manifold N(S,H)N(S,H) of finite volume and a proper, two-sided, totally umbilic embedding f ⁣:SN(S,H)f\colon S\to N(S,H) with mean curvature HH. Conversely, we prove that a complete, totally umbilic surface with mean curvature H[0,1)H \in [0,1) embedded in a hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume must be proper and have finite negative Euler characteristic.
