Abstract

After appropriate normalizations, an embedded disk with secondfundamental form large at a point contains a multi-valued grapharound that point, provided the $L^p$ norm of the mean curvature issufficiently small. This generalizes to non-minimal surfaces awell-known result of Colding and Minicozzi.
