Proper holomorphic correspondences between circular domains (Q759874): Difference between revisions

The purpose of this paper is to prove some generalizations of Cartan's theorem about biholomorphic maps between circular domains. Suppose that \(D_ 1\) and \(D_ 2\) are bounded circular domains in \({\mathbb{C}}^ n\) which contain the origin. Theorem: If \(f:D_ 1-\circ D_ 2\) is a proper holomorphic correspondence with \(f(0)=\{0\}\) or \(f^{-1}(0)=\{0\}\), then f is algebraic. Consequently, if \(f:D_ 1\to D_ 2\) is a proper holomorphic mapping with \(f(0)=0,\) then f is algebraic. Furthermore, if \(f^{-1}(0)=\{0\},\) then f is polynomial. (Cartan's theorem states that if f is biholomorphic and if \(f(0)=0\), then f is linear.)
