Spherical shells as obstructions for the extension of holomorphic mappings (Q1203477)

We quote the author's abstract: ``We study the extension properties of holomorphic and meromorphic maps into complex manifolds that carry a pluriclosed Hermitian metric. For example, any compact, complex surface admits such a metric. We prove that the only obstructions for the Hartogs-type extendability of holomorphic maps are spherical shells and rational curves''.
