Abstract

In this paper, we construct open Stein neighbourhoods of compact sets of the form $A \cup K$ in a complex space, where $K$ is a compact holomorphically convex set, $A$ is a compact complex curve with boundary $bA$ of class $\mathscr{C}^2$ which may intersect $K$, and the set $A \cap K$ is $\mathscr{O}(A)$-convex.

Keywords

Stein manifold, complex curve, holomorphically convex set
