Abstract: | In this paper we study holomorphic families of subspaces of a Banach space, which are parametrized by some analytic space. We consider the question of the existence of a holomorphic complement for a given family. It turns out that such a complement does always exist if the basic space is a Stein space, provided for each fixed value of the parameter the subspaces of the family are complemented. From this follows, in particular, the existence of a holomorphic left inverse of a holomorphic operator function, provided such a left inverse exists for each fixed value of the parameter. The latter result gives a positive answer to a question formulated by I.C. Gohberg in a personal conversation with the author.Note of the Editor: This paper was originally published in "Mat. Issled.
