Let C,D,D* be, respectively, the complex plane, {zC : |z| < 1}, and D — {0}. If P1(C) is the Riemann sphere, the Big Picard theorem states that if ƒ:D* → P1(C) is holomorphic and P1(C) → ƒ(D*) n a s more than two elements, then ƒ has a holomorphic extension . Under certain assumptions on M, A and XY, combined efforts of Kiernan, Kobayashi and Kwack extended the theorem to all holomorphic ƒ: MAX. Relying on these results, measure theoretic theorems of Lelong and Wirtinger, and other properties of complex spaces, Noguchi proved in this context that if ƒ: MAX and ƒn: MAX are holomorphic for each n and ƒn → ƒ, then . In this paper we show that all of these theorems may be significantly generalized and improved by purely topological methods. We also apply our results to present a topological generalization of a classical theorem of Vitali from one variable complex function theory.
