The uniqueness problem of meromorphic maps into the complex projective space

In 1921, G. Pólya showed that non-constant meromorphic functions ϕ and ψ of finite genera on the complex plane C are necessarily equal if there are distinct five values ai(1 ≦ i ≦ 5) such that ϕ(z) — ai and ψ(z) — ai have the same zeros of the same multiplicities for each i ([8]). Afterwards, R. Nevanlinna obtained the same conclusion for arbitrary ϕp and ψ satisfying ϕ— 1(ai) = ψ— 1(1 ≦ i ≦ 5) regardless of multiplicities. And, some other results relating to this were given by H. Cartan ([2], [3]), E. M. Schmid ([9]) and others. The purpose of this paper is to give some types of generalizations of these results to the case of meromorphic maps into the N-dimensional complex projective space PN(C).
