Reinhardt area

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the function theory of several variables a designated Reinhardt domain (also Reinhardt'sches area or Reinhardt'scher body called, named after Karl Reinhardt ) an area in which more complex than Association - Tori can be considered.

definition

Be open and cohesive . called Reinhardt domain if for any and all also located.

A Reinhardt domain is completely when using also the polydisc in is included.

Graphical representation

A Reinhardt area has a unique equivalent in , with each point in being mapped to the absolute values ​​of its coordinates . Conversely, every point in a complex torus then corresponds . This means that the Reinhardt area can also be displayed in the higher-dimensional spaces or graphically in or .

Examples

  • complex -dimensional poly cylinder with radii
  • complex -dimensional ball around with radius .

Significance in function theory

The importance of the Reinhardt areas lies in the fact that they are the right areas to consider power or Laurent series. The convergence domain of a power series is a perfect Reinhardt domain. However, not every perfect Reinhardt domain is also a convergence domain of a power series.

Reinhardt domains also play a role in the continuation of holomorphic functions . The following sentence is fundamental:

Let be a Reinhardt domain and a holomorphic function . Then there is a uniquely determined Laurent series which converges to the function on compact subsets of absolute and uniform .

If it is also true that for each there is a point whose -th coordinate is 0, then the Laurent series is even a power series and the holomorphic function can uniquely be continued on the convergence area of ​​this series.
