An approximation theorem for sections of reflexive sheaves (Q1849388)

The authors show that, if \(X\) is a Stein manifold and \(D\subset X\) an open set (not necessarily Stein) such that the restriction map \(\mathcal O(X)\longrightarrow\mathcal O(D)\) has dense image, then, for any reflexive coherent analytic sheaf \(\mathcal F\) on \(X\), the map \(\mathcal F(X)\longrightarrow\mathcal F(D)\) has dense image, too. The reflexivity of a torsion-free coherent sheaf \(\mathcal F\) on \(X\) is characterized in terms of absolute gap sheaves or Kontinuitätssatz.
