We show that an Osserman-type inequality holds for spacelike surfaces of constant mean curvature (CMC) 1 with singularities and with elliptic ends in de Sitter 3-space. An immersed end of a CMC 1 surface is an ``elliptic end'' if the…
In classical surface theory there are but few known examples of surfaces admitting nontrivial isometric deformations and fewer still non-simply-connected ones. We consider the isometric deformability question for an immersion x: M \to R^3…
