Abstract
Résumé

Let $X$ be a complex nonsingular affine algebraic variety, $K$ a compact holomorphically convex subset of $X$ , and $Y$ a homogeneous complex manifold for some complex linear algebraic group. We prove that a holomorphic map $f : K \to Y$ can be uniformly approximated on $K$ by regular maps $K \to Y$ if and only if $f$ is homotopic to a regular map $K \to Y$ . However, it may happen that a null homotopic holomorphic map $K \to Y$ does not admit uniform approximation on $K$ by regular maps $X \to Y$ . Here, a map $φ : K \to Y$ is called holomorphic (resp. regular) if there exist an open (resp. a Zariski open) neighborhood $U \subseteq X$ of $K$ and a holomorphic (resp. regular) map $\tilde{φ} : U \to Y$ such that $\tilde{φ} |_{K} = φ$ .

Soit $X$ une variété algébrique affine non singulière complexe, soit $K$ un sous-ensemble holomorphiquement convexe de $X$ , et soit $Y$ une variété algébrique complexe homogène pour un groupe algébrique linéaire complexe. Nous montrons qu’une application holomorphe $f : K \to Y$ peut être uniformément approchée sur $K$ par des applications régulières $K \to Y$ si et seulement si $f$ est homotope à une application régulière $K \to Y$ . Cependant, il peut arriver qu’une application holomorphe $K \to Y$ qui est null-homotope n’admette pas d’approximation uniforme par des applications régulières $X \to Y$ . Ici, on dit qu’une application $φ : K \to Y$ est holomorphe (resp. régulière) s’il existe un voisinage ouvert (resp. ouvert de Zariski) $U \subset X$ de $K$ et une application holomorphe (resp. régulière) $\tilde{φ} : U \to Y$ telle que $\tilde{φ} |_{K} = φ$ .
