Let X be a Riemann surface, and H(X) the ring of bounded holomorphic functions in X. We offer here a question on divisibility in H(X), and then give in Section 2 a condition in which the answer is yes (Corollary 2 to Lemma 1). In Section 3 we use part 2 to prove a theorem on the separation of points by H(X). In Section 4 we study X/H(X).

If f is meromorphic in X and zX, then by o(f, z) we mean the order of f at z. (We agree that o(f, z) = ∞ if f ≡ 0.) Let h be memomorphic in X; then h might be said to be of bounded type if h = f/g where f,gH∞(X), g ≠ 0.
