Functions Holomorphic along Holomorphic Vector Fields

Abstract

The main result of the paper is the following generalization of Forelli's theorem (Math. Scand. 41: 358-364, 1977): Suppose F is a holomorphic vector field with singular point at p, such that F is linearizable at p and the matrix is diagonalizable with eigenvalues whose ratios are positive reals. Then any function phi that has an asymptotic Taylor expansion at p and is holomorphic along the complex integral curves of F is holomorphic in a neighborhood of p. We also present an example to show that the requirement for ratios of the eigenvalues to be positive reals is necessary.
