Holomorphic Density Property


The holomorphic density property of a complex manifold X means that the Lie algebra generated by its complete holomorphic vector fields is dense in the Lie algebra of all holomorphic vector fields, in the compact-open topology. A holomorphic vector field is complete here if its flow exists for every complex time. This is a condition on the abundance of holomorphic transformations, not on the topological denseness of a subset.

The Tóth-Varolin conjecture asks whether a Stein manifold diffeomorphic to C^n and having the holomorphic density property must be biholomorphic to C^n (Gorai 2026).
