Meromorphic tangential approximation on the boundary of closed sets in Riemann surfaces (Q1635339): Difference between revisions

For a closed subset \(E\) of a Riemann surface \(R\), let \(C(E)\) be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on \(E\) and \(A(E)\) be the subalgebra of those functions in \(C(E)\) which are holomorphic in the interior \(E^o\) of \(E\). Denote by \(M(E)\) the space of functions \(E\rightarrow\mathbb{C}\) which are uniform limits of meromorphic functions on \(R\) which are pole-free on \(E\). \(E\) is called a set of uniform meromorphic approximation if \(A(E)=M(E)\). A closed set \(E\) in \(R\) is called a set of tangential (or Carleman) meromorphic approximation if, for every function \(f\in A(E)\) and each positive continuous function \(\epsilon\) on \(E\), there is a function \(g\), meromorphic on \(R\) and pole-free on \(E\), such that \(|f (z)-g(z)|<\epsilon(z)\), \(z\in E\). In the paper the following is proved: If \(E\) is a closed subset of a Riemann surface \(R\) and for every compact parametric disc \(\overline U\), \(A(E\cap\overline U) = M(E\cap\overline U)\), then \(\partial E\) is a set of tangential meromorphic approximation.
