Abstract

In 1989, Winkelmann gave a complete classification of the pairs of Riemann surfaces (X, Y ) that satisfy the basic Oka principle (BOP): every continuous map from X into Y is homotopic to a holomorphic one. This thesis is motivated by the analogous problem in the algebraic category. Explicitly, we seek to provide a complete classification of the pairs of smooth algebraic curves that satisfy the basic algebraic Oka principle (aBOP). We give an elementary proof of a special case of Serre’s seminal GAGA principle, which will allow us to translate the problem thus formulated in algebro-geometric terms, into the complex-geometric domain. Here we can use Winkelmann’s result to assist us with our goal. In particular, a pair of smooth algebraic curves cannot satisfy aBOP if it does not satisfy BOP. Finally, we discuss a framework for which the basic algebraic Oka property with approximation can be explored.
