Topology on Spaces of Holomorphic Mappings

The present report on spaces of holomorphic mappings was prepared for the Sexto Coloquio Brasileiro de Matematica (Po~os de Caldas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, July 1967). I also had the oppor­ tunity of giving a series of lectures on this material while I was a visiting member at the Center for Theoretical Studies of the University of Miami (Coral Gables, Florida, USA, February 1968). The preparation of this report was sponsored in part by the USA National Science Foundation through a grant to the University of Rochester. I am glad to thank Professors Paul R. Halmos and Peter J. Hilton for accepting my text as part of the series Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete. Rochester, New York 1968 Leopoldo Nachbin Contents § 1. Introduction. 1 § 2.
