Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the convergence behavior of a sequence of conformal immersions {f n } from long cylinders P n with \(\int_{P_n } {|A_{f_n } |^2 } + \mu (f_n (P_n )) < \Lambda \). We show that if {f n } does not converge to a point, the total Gauss curvatures and the measures of the images of {f n } will not lose on the necks and each neck consists of a point.
