Ros's conjecture on properly embedded minimal surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space
An open surface is a non-compact surface without boundary. Let be an open, connected, orientable surface. Ros's conjecture. Every such surface can be properly and minimally embedded in hyperbolic -space . This conjecture asks whether every orientable topological surface of infinite type can occur as a properly embedded minimal surface in hyperbolic -space; the source presents it as an open question following existence results for finite topological type.
