What does the space $\overline{\mathbb{C}[z]}$ stands for? Does it contain all the analytic functions or there are something else? And what about the closure thing?

    It is impossible to know what that notation means if you do not tell us at least where you found it...2011-11-22

$\mathbb{C}[z]$ is the space of polynomial functions. I'm not sure what the bar does to it. What context does this appear in? Perhaps $\overline{\mathbb{C}[z]}$ stands for the space of entire functions because they are the limits of polynomials since they have series expansions. Other notations for the space of entire functions are $\mathcal O(\mathbb C)$ and $\mathcal H(\mathbb C)$.

    I know that's what you meant - trouble is, neither one of us knows what the author meant. All I'm saying is that if *I* were to use that symbol, I would mean for it to include anything that looked like a limit of a sequence of polynomials. I might even mean for it to include things like $1+x+2x^2+6x^3+24x^4+120x^5+\dots$, which doesn't converge anywhere but at zero.2011-11-22
