Sep 2, 2021 at 12:56 comment added Peter Scholze It doesn't have dense image: One argument is to observe that the residue at $0$ of a function on $\mathbb C^\times$ gives a nonzero continuous functional which vanishes on the image of $\mathcal{O}(\mathbb C)$. The same argument applies more generally to hyperplane complements.
Sep 2, 2021 at 12:53 comment added Donu Arapura Interesting question. The inclusion of $\mathbb{C}^*\subset \mathbb{C}$ is an open immersion of Stein manifolds where the map on $H^d$ is not surjective, but I'm not sure about the density condition for function spaces.
Sep 2, 2021 at 11:42 comment added Peter Scholze I'm using the Frechet topology on $\mathcal O(X)$ and $\mathcal O(U)$ (of uniform convergence on compact subsets), as I believe is the standard choice. (Sorry for not specifying.)
Sep 2, 2021 at 11:40 comment added Jason Starr What topology are you using? For the open unit disk in the complex plane, the holomorphic restriction of $1/(1-z)$ is certainly not approximated by restrictions of entire holomorphic functions in the uniform topology (since these are bounded on the closure of the disk).
Sep 2, 2021 at 11:31 comment added Peter Scholze @virkkunen If both $U$ and $X$ are affine algebraic, the hypothesis is basically never satisfied (as Jason Starr observed). But you are welcome to assume that $X$ is an affine algebraic variety.
Sep 2, 2021 at 11:21 comment added Peter Scholze @JasonStarr An example would be a small open ball inside affine space
Sep 2, 2021 at 11:16 comment added Jason Starr Shouldn't the closed complement of an open Stein submanifold of a (connected) Stein manifold be "generically" a hypersurface in the ambient Stein manifold? If so, it seems impossible to have the "dense image" condition, unless the open equals the entire ambient manifold or the empty set, i.e., the two cases where the conjecture is trivially true.
Sep 2, 2021 at 10:47 comment added user178279 Is there an easy argument for smooth affine algebraic varieties?
