Holomorphic separability

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics in complex analysis, the concept of holomorphic separability is a measure of the richness of the set of holomorphic functions on a complex manifold or complex-analytic space.

A complex manifold or complex space is said to be holomorphically separable, if whenever xy are two points in , there exists a holomorphic function , such that f(x) ≠ f(y).[1]

Often one says the holomorphic functions separate points.
