The approximation property for spaces of holomorphic functions on infinite dimensional spaces II

Let H(U) denote the vector space of all complex-valued holomorphic functions on an open subset U of a Banach space E. Let τω and τδ respectively denote the compact-ported topology and the bornological topology on H(U). We show that if E is a Banach space with a shrinking Schauder basis, and with the property that every continuous polynomial on E is weakly continuous on bounded sets, then (H(U), τω) and (H(U), τδ) have the approximation property for every open subset U of E. The classical space c0, the original Tsirelson space T ∗ and the Tsirelson∗–James space T ∗ J are examples of Banach spaces which satisfy the hypotheses of our main result. Our results are actually valid for Riemann domains. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
