The geometry of total curvature on complete open surfaces / Katsuhiro Shiohama, Takashi Shioya, Minoru Tanaka.

This is a self-contained account of how some modern ideas in differential geometry can be used to tackle and extend classical results in integral geometry. The authors investigate the influence of total curvature on the metric structure of complete, non-compact Riemannian 2-manifolds, though their w...
