Flat fronts in hyperbolic 3-space

Masatoshi Kokubu, Masaaki Umehara and Kotaro Yamada

Vol. 216 (2004), No. 1, 149–175
Abstract

We investigate flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space with admissible singularities, called flat fronts. An Osserman-type inequality for complete flat fronts is shown. When equality holds in this inequality, we show that all the ends are embedded, and give new examples for which equality holds.
