Review text

The authors extend some concepts and theorems for the factorization of meromorphic functions to algebroid functions. Suppose that \(W(z)\) is defined to be a \(v\)-valued algebroid function by the non-reductible equation \[ A_ v(z)W^ v+A_{v-1}(z) W^{v-1}+\cdots+ A_ 0(z)=0,\tag{1} \] where \(A_ v(z)\not\equiv 0\), \(A_ i(z)\) \((i=0,1,\dots,v)\) are entire, and there are no common zero points. The above \(W(z)=W_ 0(g(z))\) is said to have \(W_ 0(z)\) and \(g(z)\) as left and right factors respectively, provided that \(W_ 0(z)\) is a \(v_ 0\)- valued algebroid function \((v_ 0\leq v)\) and \(g(z)\) is an entire function \((g(z)\) may be meromorphic when \(W_ 0(z)\) is an algebraic function). Also \(W(z)\) is said to be left prime if every factorization of the above form implies that \(g(z)\) is a polynomial or \(W_ 0\) is a \(v\)- valued algebraic function. The main results are: Suppose that the above \(W(z)\) is periodic and its lower order is finite, and \(Q\) is a non- constant rational function, i) If \(A_{v-1}(z)/A_ v(z)+vQ\) is left prime, \(W-Q\) is left prime. 2) If \(QA_{v-1}/A_ v\) is left prime, \(QW\) is left prime.
