We find the asymptotic loss of total curvature towards infinity and we express the total curvature and the Gauss-Bonnet defect in terms of singularities and tangencies at infinity.15 p., some changes in editingDifferential GeometryAlgebraic GeometryComplex Variables32S20 (Primary); 53C65; 14B07; 32S30 (Secondary)Curvature and Gauss-Bonnet defect of global affine hypersurfacestext
