Let G be a complex
domain, X and Y Banach spaces and A : G → L(X,Y ) holomorphic with
KerA(λ), ImA(λ) complemented, λ ∈ G. It is shown that the following
conditions are equivalent: (1) A has a holomorphic relative inverse on G; (2)
the function λ →KerA(λ) is locally holomorphic on G; (3) the function
λ →ImA(λ) is locally holomorphic on G. Based on this, it is shown that a
semi-Fredholm-valued holomorphic function A has a holomorphic relative inverse on
G if and only if dimKerA(λ) [codim ImA(λ), respectively] is constant on
G.
The latter result is a generalization of the well-known result of Allan on one-side
holomorphic inverses.
