Riemann surfaces of second kind and effective finiteness theorems

The Geometric Shafarevich Conjecture and the Theorem of de Franchis state the finiteness of the number of certain holomorphic objects on closed or punctured Riemann surfaces. The analog of these kind of theorems for Riemann surfaces of second kind is an estimate of the number of irreducible holomorphic objects up to homotopy (or isotopy, respectively). This analog can be interpreted as a quantitatve statement on the limitation for Gromov's Oka principle. For any finite open Riemann surface $X$ (maybe, of second kind) we give an effective upper bound for the number of irreducible holomorphic mappings up to homotopy from $X$ to the twice punctured complex plane, and an effective upper bound for the number of irreducible holomorphic torus bundles up to isotopy on such a Riemann surface. The bound depends on a conformal invariant of the Riemann surface. If $X_σ$ is the $σ$-neighbourhood of a skeleton of an open Riemann surface with finitely generated fundamental group, then the number of irreducible holomorphic mappings up to homotopy from $X_σ$ to the twice punctured complex plane grows exponentially in $\frac{1}σ$.

Envelopes of holomorphy and holomorphic discs

The envelope of holomorphy of an arbitrary domain in a two-dimensional Stein manifold is identified with a connected component of the set of equivalence classes of analytic discs immersed into the Stein manifold with boundary in the domain. This implies, in particular, that for each of its points the envelope of holomorphy contains an embedded (non-singular) Riemann surface (and also an immersed analytic disc) passing through this point with boundary contained in the natural embedding of the original domain into its envelope of holomorphy. Moreover, it says, that analytic continuation to a neighbourhood of an arbitrary point of the envelope of holomorphy can be performed by applying the continuity principle once. Another corollary concerns representation of certain elements of the fundamental group of the domain by boundaries of analytic discs. A particular case is the following. Given a contact three-manifold with Stein filling, any element of the fundamental group of the contact manifold whose representatives are contractible in the filling can be represented by the boundary of an immersed analytic disc.
