Abstract
In this paper, we show that there are non-properly embedded minimal surfaces with finite topology in a simply connected Riemannian 3-manifold with nonpositive curvature. We show this result by constructing a non-properly embedded minimal plane in hyperbolic 3-space. Hence, this gives a counterexample to Calabi-Yau conjecture for embedded minimal surfaces in the negative curvature case.
