Abstract: We continue our exposition concerning the Caratheodory topology for multiply connected domains by introducing the notion of boundedness for a family of pointed domains of the same connectivity. The limit of a convergent sequence of n-connected domains which is bounded in this sense is again n-connected and will satisfy the same bounds. We prove a result which establishes several equivalent conditions for boundedness. This allows us to extend the notions of convergence and equicontinuity to families of functions defined on varying domains.


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)].
