A long \(\mathbb C^2\) which is not Stein





A complex manifold is a long \(\mathbb C^2\) if it is the increasing union of proper subsets which are biholomorphic to \(\mathbb C^2\). The author proves the following facts: Theorem 1.1. A long \(\mathbb C^2\) need not be biholomorphic to \(\mathbb C^2\). In particular there exists a complex manifold \(X\) such that (1) \(X = \bigcup_{i=0}^\infty X_i\), \(X_i \subset X_{i+1}\), \(X_i \approx \mathbb C^2\); (2) \(X\) is not Stein. Theorem 1.2. If \(X = \bigcup_{i=0}^\infty X_i\) is a long \(\mathbb C^2\) and each \((X_i, X_{i+1})\) is a Runge pair, then \(X\) is biholomorphic to \(\mathbb C^2\). This result is a boundary version of the Rothstein lemma about meromorphic continuation and its proof bases on the boundary properties of plurisubharmonic functions and the Hadamard formula for radius of meromorphy.
