Proof.
We focus on the neighbourhood of . Modulo smooth terms

so by the integral definitions, along the function is non-singular, and

Now

hence up to multiplying by a smooth function

as the point moves to . Similarly

The function encounters no singularity along . These calculations guarantee the continuous extension of the holomorphic functions over . Since the complex structure is compatible with the smooth topology by Section 2.3, these holomorphic functions in fact extend smoothly along .
We remark that what happens in these calculations is essentially identical to the Taub-NUT metric near the origin.
