Conformal type of ends of revolution in space forms of constant sectional curvature

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the conformal type (parabolicity or non-parabolicity) of complete ends of revolution immersed in simply connected space forms of constant sectional curvature. We show that any complete end of revolution in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space or in a 3-dimensional sphere is parabolic. In the case of ends of revolution in the hyperbolic 3-dimensional space, we find sufficient conditions to attain parabolicity for complete ends of revolution using their relative position to the complete flat surfaces of revolution.
