Holomorphic Liouville Property


The holomorphic Liouville property of a connected complex manifold means that every bounded holomorphic function on it is constant. Writing H^infty(M) for these functions, the condition is H^infty(M)=C. Complex Euclidean space has this property by Liouville's boundedness theorem. A bounded domain has nonconstant bounded coordinate functions and therefore fails it.
