Differential Geometry – Holomorphic Functions on Complex Compact Manifolds

algebraic-topologydifferential-geometrydifferential-topology

Is there a simple proof that every holomorphic function $M\to\mathbb{C}$ on a compact complex manifold $M$ is constant?

Best Answer

Non-constant holomorphic functions on connected complex manifolds are open maps.
So, if $M$ were compact and $f:M\to \mathbb C$ were non-constant, its image would be an open, compact non-empty subset $f(M)\subset\mathbb C$. Such a beast does not exist.
