Abstract:

Let $W$ be a Riemann surface other than the sphere, plane, punctured plane or torus. Let $f$ be a holomorphic map of the punctured disk $0 < \left | z \right | < 1$ into $W$. Then $f$ can be extended to a holomorphic map of the disk $\left | z \right | < 1$, possibly, into a Riemann surface ${W^ * }$ containing $W$. We give a new proof of this fact and explore some consequences of it.
