Pullback of coherent sheaves on Stein manifolds

Let $i:X\to Y$ be a closed embedding of Stein spaces, $G$ be a coherent $O_Y$-module. Set $I=\ker(i^*:O(Y)\to O(X))$. Then $I$ is an ideal of the ring $O(Y)$. Is that true that $\Gamma(X,i^*G)=G(Y)/...

Finite morphism to Stein manifold

Let $X$ be a complex manifold and let $Y$ be a Stein manifold. Assume that there is a proper finite holomorphic map $f:X\to Y$ (means that every fiber of $f$ is finite). Can we conclude that $X$ is a ...

Stein manifold homotopic to wedge of two Stein manifolds

I am not very conversant with Stein structure on a manifold so this may be a very silly question. Let $X$ and $Y$ be two Stein manifolds of dimension $n$, inside $\mathbb{C}^N$. Take $x\in X$ and $y\...
