Nov 11, 2009 at 14:09 comment added Gil Kalai I see, I guess it is a concrete example! (and even a popular one.)
Nov 11, 2009 at 10:28 comment added Georges Elencwajg Dear Gil and Jonas:thanks for the comments and, yes, you are both right. Hartogs's example-theorem shows that there exist in C^n domains which are not regions of holomorphy,a phenomenon impossible in dimension one.This launched the notion of pseudoconvex domains (which exclude Hartogs-type extensions of holomorphic functions) and ultimately led to the concept of Stein manifolds, central in complex geometry (the analogues of affine varieties in algebraic geometry)
Nov 11, 2009 at 9:52 comment added Jonas Meyer Perhaps this answer refers to a class of examples, the punctured open sets of C^n when n>1, of domains which are not domains of holomorphy.
Nov 11, 2009 at 8:56 comment added Gil Kalai It is interesting, but this is a theorem, not an example right?
