Abstract

We construct holomorphically varying families of Fatou–Bieberbach domains with given centres in the complement of any compact polynomially convex subset $K$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ for $n \gt 1$. This provides a simple proof of the recent result of $Y$. Kusakabe to the effect that the complement $\mathbb{C}^n \setminus K$ of any polynomially convex subset $K$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ is an Oka manifold. The analogous result is obtained with $\mathbb{C}^n$ replaced by any Stein manifold with the density property.
