Polynomial approximations of the inverse of meromorphic functions on a Riemann surface (Q1804150)

Given a meromorphic function \(f\) on \(\mathbb{C}\), let \(F = f^{-1}\) be its (in general multivalued) inverse. It is known that the Ahlfors characteristic \(A(r) = {1 \over \pi} \iint_{| z | \leq r} {| f'(z) |^ 2 dxdy \over (1 + | f(z) |^ 2)^ 2}\) gives the mean number of sheets of the Riemann surface \({\mathcal F}_ r : = \{f(z); | z | \leq r\}\), which is the image of \(\{| z | \leq r\}\) under \(f\), and that \(\pi A(r)\) is the spherical area of \({\mathcal F}_ r\). The subject of the paper may be illustrated by the following result. Given \(\varepsilon > 0\) and \(r > 0\), one can choose \([A(r)]\) schlicht domains \(D_ i (r)\) on \({\mathcal F}_ r\) and polynomials \(p_ N^{(i)}\) \((i = 1, \dots, [A(r)])\) of degree \(N = N(r) = o(r^ 2)\) such that \[ \sum^{[A (r)]}_{i=1} {1 \over \pi A(r)} S \bigl( D_ i(r) \bigr) \to 1, \quad r \to \infty, \quad r \notin E, \] \[ \bigl | F(w) - p^{(i)}_ N(w) \bigr |< \varepsilon, \quad w \in D_ i(r), \quad i=1, \dots, \bigl[ A(r) \bigr], \] where \(S(D_ i(r))\) is the spherical area of \(D_ i (r)\) and \(E\) is a set of finite logarithmic measure.
