Abstract

We conjecture that if the rate of area growth of a geodesic disc of radius r on a smooth simply-connected complete surface with non-positive Gaussian curvature is faster than r2(logr)1+e for some ε ≥ 0, then the surface is hyperbolic. We prove this under an additional assumption that the surface is rotationally symmetric.
