Hammond, Christopher Schlicht envelopes of holomorphy and topology. (English) Zbl 1205.32009 Math. Z. 266, No. 2, 285-288 (2010). Author’s abstract: Let \(\Omega \) be a domain in \(\mathbb C^2\), and let \(\pi: \widetilde{\Omega}\rightarrow \mathbb C^2\) be its envelope of holomorphy. Also let \(\Omega'=\pi(\widetilde{\Omega})\) with \(i:\Omega \hookrightarrow \Omega'\) the inclusion. We prove the following: if the induced map on fundamental groups \(i_*:\pi_1(\Omega) \rightarrow \pi_1(\Omega')\) is a surjection, and if \(\pi \) is a covering map, then \(\Omega \) has a schlicht envelope of holomorphy. We then relate this to earlier work of Fornaess and Zame.
