Riemann Surfaces
Part II, 2009

(i) Let f(z)=n=1z2nf(z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} z^{2^{n}}. Show that the unit circle is the natural boundary of the function element (D(0,1),f)(D(0,1), f), where D(0,1)={zC:z<1}D(0,1)=\{z \in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}.

(ii) Let XX be a connected Riemann surface and (D,h)(D, h) a function element on XX into C\mathbb{C}. Define a germ of (D,h)(D, h) at a point pDp \in D. Let G\mathcal{G} be the set of all the germs of function elements on XX into C\mathbb{C}. Describe the topology and the complex structure on G\mathcal{G}, and show that G\mathcal{G} is a covering of XX (in the sense of complex analysis). Show that there is a oneto-one correspondence between complete holomorphic functions on XX into C\mathbb{C} and the connected components of G\mathcal{G}. [You are not required to prove that the topology on G\mathcal{G} is secondcountable.]
