| Nov 16, 2012 at 1:58 | comment | added | algori | David -- if you are not requiring the embedding to be proper then this should follow from the classification theorem, see e.g. jstor.org/discover/10.2307/… My guess is that starting from this one can construct a proper embedding too. | |

| Nov 16, 2012 at 1:50 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | Similar question was recently discussed here, but I don't now how to find it. Are you asking about topological surface (and topological embedding)? Or a Riemann surface (conformal embedding) or a surface with some metric, or what? I believe that a topological surface, and even a Riemann surface can be so embedded. | |
