{{Short description | Singularities of holomorphic functions extend infinitely outward}}
In mathematics, precisely in the theory of functions of [[several complex variables]], '''Hartogs's extension theorem''' is a statement about the [[Singularity (mathematics)|singularities]] of [[holomorphic function]]s of several variables. Informally, it states that the [[Support (mathematics)|support]] of the singularities of such functions cannot be [[compact space|compact]], therefore the singular set of a function of several complex variables must (loosely speaking) 'go off to infinity' in some direction. More precisely, it shows that an [[isolated singularity]] is always a [[removable singularity]] for any [[analytic function]] of {{math|''n'' > 1}} complex variables. A first version of this theorem was proved by [[Friedrich Hartogs]],<ref name="hartogs">See the original paper of {{Harvtxt|Hartogs|1906}} and its description in various historical surveys by {{harvtxt|Osgood|1963|pp=56–59}}, {{harvtxt|Severi|1958|pp=111–115}} and {{harvtxt|Struppa|1988|pp=132–134}}. In particular, in this last reference on p. 132, the Author explicitly writes :-"''As it is pointed out in the title of {{harv|Hartogs|1906}}, and as the reader shall soon see, the key tool in the proof is the [[Cauchy integral formula]]''".</ref> and as such it is known also as '''Hartogs's lemma''' and '''Hartogs's principle''': in earlier [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] literature,<ref>See for example {{harvtxt|Vladimirov|1966|p=153}}, which refers the reader to the book of {{harvtxt|Fuks|1963|p=284}} for a proof (however, in the former reference it is incorrectly stated that the proof is on page 324).</ref> it is also called '''Osgood–Brown theorem''', acknowledging later work by [[Arthur Barton Brown]] and [[William Fogg Osgood]].<ref>See {{harvtxt|Brown|1936}} and {{harvtxt|Osgood|1929}}.</ref> This property of holomorphic functions of several variables is also called '''[[#Hartogs's phenomenon|Hartogs's phenomenon]]''': however, the locution "Hartogs's phenomenon" is also used to identify the property of solutions of [[System of equations|systems]] of [[partial differential equation|partial differential]] or [[convolution operator|convolution equation]]s satisfying Hartogs type theorems.<ref>See {{harvtxt|Fichera|1983}} and {{harvtxt|Bratti|1986a}} {{harv|Bratti|1986b}}.</ref>▼

==Hartogs's phenomenon==
A phenomenon that holds in several variables but does not hold in one variable is called '''Hartogs's phenomenon''', which lead to the notion of this Hartogs's extension theorem and the [[___domain of holomorphy]], hence the [[Several complex variables|theory of several complex variables]].▼
For example, in two variables, consider the interior ___domain
:<math>H_\varepsilon = \{z=(z_1,z_2)\in\Delta^2:|z_1|<\varepsilon\ \ \text{or}\ \ 1-\varepsilon< |z_2|\}</math>
in the two-dimensional polydisk <math>\Delta^2=\{z\in\mathbb{C}^2;|z_1|<1,|z_2|<1\}</math> where <math>0 < \varepsilon < 1.</math>

:Let {{mvar|f}} be a [[holomorphic function]] on a [[Set (mathematics)|set]] {{math|''G'' \ ''K''}}, where {{mvar|G}} is an open subset of {{math|'''C'''<sup>''n''</sup>}} ({{math|''n'' ≥ 2}}) and {{mvar|K}} is a compact subset of {{mvar|G}}. If the [[Complement (set theory)|complement]] {{math|''G'' \ ''K''}} is connected, then {{mvar|f}} can be extended to a unique holomorphic function {{mvar|F}} on {{mvar|G}}.{{sfnm|1a1=Hörmander|1y=1990|1loc=Theorem 2.3.2}}▼
Ehrenpreis' proof is based on the existence of smooth [[bump function]]s, unique continuation of holomorphic functions, and the [[Poincaré lemma]] — the last in the form that for any smooth and compactly supported differential (0,1)-form {{mvar|ω}} on {{math|'''C'''<sup>''n''</sup>}} with {{math|{{overline|∂}}''ω'' {{=}} 0}}, there exists a smooth and compactly supported function {{mvar|η}} on {{math|'''C'''<sup>''n''</sup>}} with {{math|{{overline|∂}}''η'' {{=}} ''ω''}}. The crucial assumption {{math|''n'' ≥ 2}} is required for the validity of this Poincaré lemma; if {{math|''n'' {{=}} 1}} then it is generally impossible for {{mvar|η}} to be compactly supported.{{sfnm|1a1=Hörmander|1y=1990|1p=30}}
The [[ansatz]] for {{mvar|F}} is {{math|''φ f'' − ''v''}} for smooth functions {{mvar|φ}} and {{mvar|v}} on {{mvar|G}}; such an expression is meaningful provided that {{mvar|φ}} is identically equal to zero where {{mvar|f}} is undefined (namely on {{mvar|K}}). Furthermore, given any holomorphic function on {{mvar|G}} which is equal to {{mvar|f}} on ''some'' [[open set]], unique continuation (based on connectedness of {{math|''G'' \ ''K''}}) shows that it is equal to {{mvar|f}} on ''all'' of {{math|''G'' \ ''K''}}.
▲'''Theorem''' {{harvtxt|Hartogs|1906}}: any holomorphic functions <math>f</math> on <math>H_\varepsilon</math> are analytically continued to <math>\Delta^2</math> . Namely, there is a holomorphic function <math>F</math> on <math>\Delta^2</math> such that <math>F=f</math> on <math>H_\varepsilon</math> .
The holomorphicity of this function is identical to the condition {{math|{{overline|∂}}''v'' {{=}} ''f'' {{overline|∂}}''φ''}}. For any smooth function {{mvar|φ}}, the differential (0,1)-form {{math|''f'' {{overline|∂}}''φ''}} is {{math|{{overline|∂}}}}-closed. Choosing {{mvar|φ}} to be a [[Smoothness|smooth function]] which is identically equal to zero on {{mvar|K}} and identically equal to one on the complement of some compact subset {{mvar|L}} of {{mvar|G}}, this (0,1)-form additionally has compact support, so that the Poincaré lemma identifies an appropriate {{mvar|v}} of compact support. This defines {{mvar|F}} as a holomorphic function on {{mvar|G}}; it only remains to show (following the above comments) that it coincides with {{mvar|f}} on some open set.
On the set {{math|'''C'''<sup>''n''</sup> \ ''L''}}, {{mvar|v}} is holomorphic since {{mvar|φ}} is identically constant. Since it is zero near infinity, unique continuation applies to show that it is identically zero on some open subset of {{math|''G'' \ ''L''}}.<ref>Any connected component of {{math|'''C'''<sup>''n''</sup> \ ''L''}} must intersect {{math|''G'' \ ''L''}} in a nonempty open set. To see the nonemptiness, connect an arbitrary point {{mvar|p}} of {{math|'''C'''<sup>''n''</sup> \ ''L''}} to some point of {{mvar|L}} via a line. The intersection of the line with {{math|'''C'''<sup>''n''</sup> \ ''L''}} may have many connected components, but the component containing {{mvar|p}} gives a continuous path from {{mvar|p}} into {{math|''G'' \ ''L''}}.</ref> Thus, on this open subset, {{mvar|F}} equals {{mvar|f}} and the existence part of Hartog's theorem is proved. Uniqueness is automatic from unique continuation, based on connectedness of {{mvar|G}}.
▲==Formal statement==
▲:Let {{mvar|f}} be a [[holomorphic function]] on a [[Set (mathematics)|set]] {{math|''G\K''}}, where {{mvar|G}} is an open subset of {{math|'''C'''<sup>''n''</sup>}} ({{math|''n'' ≥ 2}}) and {{mvar|K}} is a compact subset of {{mvar|G}}. If the [[Complement (set theory)|complement]] {{math|''G\K''}} is connected, then {{mvar|f}} can be extended to a unique holomorphic function on {{mvar|G}}.
==Counterexamples in dimension one==
The theorem does not hold when {{math|''n'' {{=}} 1}}. To see this, it suffices to consider the function {{math|''f''(''z'') {{=}} ''z''<sup>−1</sup>}}, which is clearly holomorphic in {{math|'''C''' \ {0},}} but cannot be continued as a holomorphic function on the whole of {{math|'''C'''}}. Therefore, the Hartogs's phenomenon is an elementary phenomenon that highlights the difference between the theory of functions of one and several complex variables.
