Abstract

Let XX be a connected open Riemann surface. Let YY be an Oka domain in the smooth locus of an analytic subvariety of Cn\mathbb C^n, n1n\geq 1, such that the convex hull of YY is all of Cn\mathbb C^n. Let O(X,Y)\mathscr O_*(X, Y) be the space of nondegenerate holomorphic maps XYX\to Y. Take a holomorphic 11-form θ\theta on XX, not identically zero, and let π:O(X,Y)H1(X,Cn)\pi:\mathscr O_*(X,Y) \to H^1(X,\mathbb C^n) send a map gg to the cohomology class of gθg\theta. Our main theorem states that π\pi is a Serre fibration. This result subsumes the 1971 theorem of Kusunoki and Sainouchi that both the periods and the divisor of a holomorphic form on XX can be prescribed arbitrarily. It also subsumes two parametric h-principles in minimal surface theory proved by Forstneric and Larusson in 2016.
