Abstract
In 1953 K. Oka IX solved in first and in a final form Levi's problem (Hartogs' inverse problem) for domains or Riemann domains over of arbitrary dimension. Later on a number of the proofs were given; cf.\ e.g., Docquier-Grauert's paper in 1960, R. Narasimhan's paper in 1961/62, Gunning-Rossi's book, and H\"ormander's book (in which the holomorphic separability is pre-assumed in the definition of Riemann domains and thus the assumption is stronger than the one in the present paper). Here we will give another direct elementary proof of Oka's Theorem, relying only on Grauert's finiteness theorem by the {\it induction on the dimension} and the {\it jets over Riemann domains}; hopefully, the proof is most comprehensive.
