On Bloch's "Principle of topological continuity''

Complex Variables 2024-12-05 v1

Abstract

We discuss to what extent certain results about totally ramified values of entire and meromorphic functions remain valid if one relaxes the hypothesis that some value is totally ramified by assuming only that all islands over some Jordan domain are multiple. In particular, we prove a result suggested by Bloch which says that an entire function of order less than 11 has a simple island over at least one of two given Jordan domains with disjoint closures.
