The locally convex topology on the space of meromorphic functions

Abstract

AbstractWe give a positive answer to a question of Horst Tietz. A theorem of his that is related to the Mittag-Leffler theorem looks like a duality restult under some locally convex topology on the space of meromorphic functions. Tietz has posed the problem of finding such a topology. It is shown that a topology introduced by Holdguün in 1973 solves the problem. The main tool in the study of this topology is a projective description of it that is derived here. We also argue that Holdgrün's topology is the natural locally convex topology on the space of meromorphic functions.
