Abstract

The family UBC(R) of meromorphic functions of uniformly bounded characteristic in a Rieman surface R is defined in terms of the Shimizu-Ahlfors characteristic function. There are some natural parallels between UBC(R) and BMOA(R), the family of holomorphic functions of bounded mean oscillation in R. After a survey some open problems are proposed in contrast with BMOA(R).
