Complex Geometry/Holomorphic manifolds

Definition (holomorphic manifold):

A holomorphic manifold is a differentiable manifold whose transition maps are holomorphic.

Example (Riemann sphere):

Consider the set

Theorem (Riemann's extension theorem):

Let be a complex manifold, let be holomorphic, and let be holomorphic, such that for all and all , the function is bounded on . Then there exists a unique function that extends .

  1. Consider the stereographic projection from a sphere to the complex plane, where the sphere is of radius   and tangent to the zero point of the complex plane. Prove that the function   corresponds to a reflection of the sphere about the equator.
