An estimate for the Gauss curvature of minimal surfaces in {f R}STDOUT_TOPmwhose Gauss map omits a set of hyperplanes

Robert Osserman and Min Ru

We give an estimate of the Gauss curvature for minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^m$ whose Gauss map omits more than $m(m+1)/2$ hyperplanes in ${\mathbb P}^{m-1}({\mathbb C})$.
