Proof of Weierstrass Preparation Theorem

413 Views Asked by At

In Griffiths and Harris, Principles of Algebraic Geometry, on page 8, near the end of the proof of the Weierstrass Preparation Theorem, he states that $h(z,w)$ has only removable singularities in the disk $|w| < r$ and writes the cauchy integral formula and states that this implies that $h(z,w)$ is holomorphic in z as well. I don't understand how the above follows?

He does a similar thing in the proof of Hartog's extension theorem on page 7, writing the Cauchy integral formula and claims that $\frac{\partial}{\partial \bar{z_{1}}}f = 0$ which I don't find obvious.

Could someone please explain this? I feel that this should be fairly obvious but I can't seem to see the above.

Does anyone know a good reference for this book that would contain a more detailed treatment of complex analysis that Griffiths&Harris talks about? This seems to be the only background material I'm not familiar with.

Thanks!
