The Carathéodory topology for multiply connected domains. II (Q2248489)

The paper concerns the space \(X\) of pointed subdomains of \(\overline {\mathbb C}\) with the topology given by Carathéodory convergence. A pointed domain \((D,u)\) is non-degenerate if \(\mathbb C \setminus U\) has no \(1\)-point components. A family \(U\) of \(n\)-connected non-degenerate pointed domains is bounded if every sequence in \(U\) which converges in \(X\) has a limit which is \(n\)-connected and non-degenerate. A family \(U\) of pointed hyperbolic domains is non-degenerate if every sequence in \(U\) which converges in \(X\) has a limit which is a hyperbolic domain. The paper establishes various conditions which ensure that a family of non-degenerate domains is bounded or that a family of hyperbolic domains is non-degenerate. This allows to extend the notions of convergence and equicontinuity to families of functions defined on varying domains. For Part I see [ibid. 11, No. 2, 322--340 (2013; Zbl 1282.30017)].
