In mathematics in complex analysis, the concept of holomorphic separability is a measure of the richness of the set of holomorphic functions on a complex manifold or complex-analytic space.

## Formal definition

A complex manifold or complex space X is said to be holomorphically separable, if whenever x ≠ y are two points in X, there exists a holomorphic function f∈𝒪(X), such that f(x) ≠ f(y).[1]

Often one says the holomorphic functions separate points.

## Usage and examples

* All complex manifolds that can be mapped injectively into some ℂn are holomorphically separable, in particular, all domains in ℂn and all Stein manifolds.
* A holomorphically separable complex manifold is not compact unless it is discrete and finite.
* The condition is part of the definition of a Stein manifold.
