of a Laurent series. If Op is the local ring of holomorphic functions around p. Take Mp the field of meromorphic functions around p, a principle part is just an element of the quotient groupMp/Op. The Mittag-Leffler question is, given a discrete set {pn} of points in S and a principle part at pn for each n, does there exist a meromorphic function f on S, holomorphic outside {pn}, whose principl...
