A schlichtness theorem for envelopes of holomorphy (Q851016)

The author considers the relation between the geometry of a given domain and the geometry of its envelope of holomorphy. He proves the following. Theorem 1.1. Let \(\Omega\) be a domain in \({\mathbb C}^2\) and let \(({\tilde \Omega}, \pi)\) be its envelope of holomorphy. If \({\tilde \Omega}\) is schlicht over \(\Omega\) then \({\tilde \Omega}\) is schlicht. In the section 3 of the paper the author constructs two examples: 1) the first shows that this theorem in not correct for domains in \({\mathbb C}^2\) whose envelopes are multiply sheeted; 2) the second shows that this theorem is not true for domains in \({\mathbb C}^n\), \(n > 2\).
