Riemann surfaces in fibered polynomial hulls.
Abstract



Let D be the closed unit disk in C , let T be the circle, let P:D × C -->D be projection, and let A(D) be the algebra of complex functions continuous on D and analytic in int D. Let E be a compact set in C2 such that P(E)=T, and let Ez ={w | (z,w) is in E}. Suppose further that

(a) for every z in T, Ez is the union of 2 nonempty disjoint connected compact sets with connected complement;

(b) there exists a function Q(z,w)=(w-R(z))2-S(z) quadratic in w with R,S in A(D) such that for all z in T, {w | Q(z,w)=0} is contained in int Ez where S has only one zero in int D, counting multiplicity;

(c) for every z in T, the map w |--->Q(z,w) is injective on each component of Ez.

Then we prove that Ê \ E is the union of analytic disks 2-sheeted over int D, where Ê is the polynomial convex hull of E. Furthermore, we show that the part of boundary of Ê which sits over int D is the disjoint union of such disks.
