A supplement to the Riemann-Roch theorem on a noncompact Riemann surface (Q761572)

In this work R stands for an arbitrary open Riemann surface of genus h, and D is a divisor. Also \(\ell\) and \(\ell '\) denote respectively the (real) dimensions of the space of meromorphic functions and of the space of meromorphic differentials which have \(\Lambda_ k\)-behaviour; these being multipliers of \(D,D^{-1}\) respectively. The author states the following result: Theorem. \(\ell =0\) for ord D\(<0\) and \(\ell =2(ord D- h+1)\) for \(ord D>2h-2.\) \(\ell '=-2(ord D-h+1)\) for \(ord D<0\) and \(\ell '=0\) for \(ord D>2h-2.\) This is an extension to arbitrary open Riemann surfaces from known results for compact Riemann surfaces.
