The famous Picard theorem states that a holomorphic mapping f: C → P1(C) omitting distinct three points must be constant. Borel [1] showed that a non-degenerate holomorphic curve can miss at most n + 1 hyperplanes in Pn(C) in general position, thus extending Picard’s theorem (n = 1). Recently, Fujimoto [3], Green [4] and [5] obtained many Picard type theorems using Borel’s methods for holomorphic mappings.
