Domain Of Holomorphy




In Mathematics , in the theory of functions of Several Complex Variables , a domain of holomorphy is a set which is maximal in the sense that there exist a Holomorphic Function on this set which cannot be Extended to a bigger set.

Formally, an Open Set \Omega in the ''n''-dimensional complex space {\mathbb{C}}^n is called a ''domain of holomorphy'' if there do not exist non-empty open sets U \subset \Omega and V \subset {\mathbb{C}}^n where V is Connected , V
ot\subset \Omega and U \subset \Omega \cap V such that for every Holomorphic function f on \Omega there exists a holomorphic function g on V with f = g on U

When n=1, then every open set is a domain of holomorphy: we can define a holomorphic function which has zeros which Accumulate everywhere on the Boundary of the domain, which must then be a Natural Boundary . For n \geq 2 this is no longer true, as it follows from Hartogs' Lemma .
