A pole is called $H$-relevant for a Herman ring $H$ of such a function $f$ if it is surrounded by some Herman ring of the cycle containing $H$. In this article, a lower bound on the period $p$ of a Herman ring $H$ is found in terms of the number of $H$-relevant poles, say $h$. More precisely, it is shown that $p\\geq \\frac{h(h+1)}{2}$ whenever $f^j(H)$, for some $j$, surrounds a pole as well as the set of all omitted values of $f$. It is proved that $p \\geq \\frac{h(h+3)}{2}$ in the other situation. Sufficient conditions are found under which equalities hold. It is also proved that if an omitted value is contained in the closure of an invariant or a two periodic Fatou component then the function does not have any Herman ring.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-14T13:49:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "herman ring", "relevant poles", "omitted value", "general meromorphic functions", "periodic fatou component" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
