. Assume the integral K is convergent, where K is the Gauss curvature of . Is it always true that 21 K is an integer? Solution: Smoothing the surface, xing Gauss-Bonnet when having some cone points in a compact surface will result in curvature interpolating between 1 and 0 in a small region, but you can make that region as small as you want so it will contribute a negligible amount to the integral. Start with a one-nappe circular cone, then cut o the tip and replace with a subset of a spherical cap, resulting in what is now a C1 innite surface. However, there is no specications of the central angle of the cone, thus the resulting is somewhat such as a total Gauss curvature, to an eective maximum given by a hemisphere and an innite cylinder. You can get any between the interval [0,2 ] for the integral by taking a suitable cone. Therefore the answer is NO. #
