Equivalent Conditions
For a domain the following conditions are equivalent:
- is a domain of holomorphy
- is holomorphically convex
- is pseudoconvex
- is Levi convex - for every sequence of analytic compact surfaces such that for some set we have ( cannot be "touched from inside" by a sequence of analytic surfaces)
- has local Levi property - for every point there exist a neighbourhood of and holomorphic on such that cannot be extended to any neighbourhood of
Implications are standard results. The main difficulty lies in proving, i.e. constructing a global holomoprhic function which admits no extension from non-extendable functions defined only locally. This is called the Levi problem and was first solved by Kiyoshi Oka, and then by Lars Hörmander using methods from functional analysis and partial differential equations (a consequence of -problem).

Famous quotes containing the words equivalent and/or conditions:
“I started off rapping for people just like myself, people who were in awe of wealth and flash. It was a conversation between me and them. But now most of those who buy my records are listening in on others’ conversation. They are the aural equivalent of voyeurs, thrilled at this crazy world that has nothing to do with their experience.”
—Ice-T [Tracy Marrow], U.S. rap musician. Observer (London, Oct. 27, 1991)
“I can’t say that the college-bred woman is the most contented woman. The broader her mind the more she understands the unequal conditions between men and women, the more she chafes under a government that tolerates it.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
