Abstract:

Aleksandrov surfaces are a generalization of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, and it is known that every open simply-connected Aleksandrov surface is conformally equivalent either to the unit disc (hyperbolic case) or to the plane (parabolic case). We prove a criterion for hyperbolicity of Aleksandrov surfaces which have nice tilings and where negative curvature dominates. We then apply this to generalize a result of Nevanlinna and give a partial answer for his conjecture about line complexes.
