Basic Oka Theory in Several Complex Variables
This book provides a new, comprehensive, and self-contained account of Oka theory as an introduction to function theory of several complex variables, mainly concerned with the Three Big Problems (Approximation, Cousin, Pseudoconvexity) that were solved by Kiyoshi Oka and form the basics of the theory. The purpose of the volume is to serve as a textbook in lecture courses right after complex function theory of one variable. The presentation aims to be readable and enjoyable both for those who are beginners in mathematics and for researchers interested in complex analysis in several variables and complex geometry. The nature of the present book is evinced by its approach following Oka’s unpublished five papers of 1943 with his guiding methodological principle termed the “Joku-Iko Principle”, where historically the Pseudoconvexity Problem (Hartogs, Levi) was first solved in all dimensions, even for unramified Riemann domains as well. The method that is used in the book is elementary and direct, not relying on the cohomology theory of sheaves nor on the L2-∂-bar method, but yet reaches the core of the theory with the complete proofs. Two proofs for Levi’s Problem are provided: One is Oka’s original with the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind combined with the Joku-Iko Principle, and the other is Grauert’s by the well-known “bumping-method” with L. Schwartz’s Fredholm theorem, of which a self-contained, rather simple and short proof is given. The comparison of them should be interesting even for specialists. In addition to the Three Big Problems, other basic material is dealt with, such as Poincaré’s non-biholomorphism between balls and polydisks, the Cartan–Thullen theorem on holomorphic convexity, Hartogs’ separate analyticity, Bochner’s tube theorem, analytic interpolation, and others. It is valuable for students and researchers alike to look into the original works of Kiyoshi Oka, which are not easy to find in books or monographs.

The theory of analytic functions of several complex variables enjoyed a period of remarkable development in the middle part of the twentieth century. This title intends to provide an extensive introduction to the Oka-Cartan theory and some of its applications, and to the general theory of analytic spaces.

'Kiyoshi Oka, at the beginning of his research, regarded the collection of problems which he encountered in the study of domains of holomorphy as large mountains which separate today and tomorrow. Thus, he believed that there could be no essential progress in analysis without climbing over these mountains ... this book is a worthwhile initial step for the reader in order to understand the mathematical world which was created by Kiyoshi Oka.' -- from the Preface. This book explains results in the theory of functions of several complex variables which were mostly established from the late nineteenth century through to the middle of the twentieth century. In the work, the author introduces the mathematical world created by his advisor, Kiyoshi Oka. In this volume, Oka's work is divided into two parts. The first is the study of analytic functions in univalent domains in ${\mathbf C}n$. Here Oka proved that three concepts are equivalent: domains of holomorphy, holomorphically convex domains, and pseudoconvex domains; and moreover that the Poincaré problem, the Cousin problems, and the Runge problem, when stated properly, can be solved in domains of holomorphy satisfying the appropriate conditions. The second part of Oka's work established a method for the study of analytic functions defined in a ramified domain over ${\mathbf C}n$ in which the branch points are considered as interior points of the domain. Here analytic functions in an analytic space are treated, which is a slight generalization of a ramified domain over ${\mathbf C}n$. In writing the book, the author's goal was to bring to readers a real understanding of Oka's original papers. This volume is an English translation of the original Japanese edition, published by the University of Tokyo Press (Japan). It would make a suitable course text for advanced graduate level introductions to several complex variables.
