Cover the product by and , with on their intersection . The permitted vanishing and the Dolbeault theorem make this an acyclic cover for both and . The acyclic cover theorem lets its two-term Čech complex compute the cohomology. In particular, all groups with vanish.
For , a global holomorphic function is constant on each compact complex projective line fibre, by the maximum modulus principle. Its remaining dependence on is entire. Hence . For the first Čech group, a function on the intersection has a Laurent series
Each coefficient is entire in by its Cauchy integral formula. The nonnegative powers extend to , and the negative powers extend to in coordinate . These two series converge locally uniformly with the parameter , by the usual Laurent estimates on compact parameter sets. Thus every intersection function is a Čech coboundary and .
For , write a two-form on the intersection as . The other chart has
Forms extending from have coefficient powers ; those extending from have powers . A globally defined two-form would need to have both types of expansion, so it is zero. In the first Čech quotient, precisely the term remains, and its coefficient is an arbitrary entire function of . Consequently
The second nonzero group is represented in Čech cohomology by . This explicit residue description is the Dolbeault cohomology of the projective line times the affine line; it also identifies that group naturally with the holomorphic one-forms on the affine factor.
