Holomorphic Mappings into Projective Space with Lacunary Hyperplanes

Abstract

In this note, we shall examine some results of Bloch [2] and Cartan [3] concerning complex projective space minus hyperplanes in general position. The purpose is to restate their results in a more general setting by using the intrinsic pseudo-distance defined on a complex space [16] and the concept of tautness introduced by Wu in [18]. In the process we shall generalize some results of Dufresnoy [4] and Fuj imoto [7].
