The paper under review presents a survey on results concerning \({\mathcal O}^K\)-domains of holomorphy and their envelopes of holomorphy with respect to \(K\)-invariant holomorphic functions, where \(K\) is a compact transformation group and \({\mathcal O}^K(D)\) is the set of \(K\)-invariant holomorphic functions. The role of the properties of orbital convexity and orbital connectedness are discussed. Let \(D\) be a \(K\)-invariant orbitally convex domain. Then any \(K\)-invariant holomorphic function extends as a \(K^{\mathbb C}\)-invariant holomorphic function to \(D_{\mathbb C} = K^{\mathbb C}\cdot D\), the complexification of \(D\). Here \(K^{\mathbb C}\) denotes the complexification of \(K\). Moreover, \(D_{\mathbb C}\) is a domain of holomorphy if \(D\) is a domain of holomorphy. If \({\mathcal O}^K(D) \not= {\mathbb C}\), then \(D_{\mathbb C}\) equals the envelope of holomorphy w.r.t. the class of \(K\)-invariant functions. Examples as the matrix Reinhardt domains and the extended matrix disc are given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0833.00014].
