It has long been known that the category S of compact Riemann surfaces and non-constant analytic maps, and the category C of complex-algebraic function fields and complex isomorphisms are, via two contravariant functions, coequivalent; thus an analytic theory and an algebraic theory are tied together. While investigating several Banach algebras on compact Riemann surfaces with non-empty boundary ǝX ([A],[A₂],[A]), the first author posed the following question for himself: what is the simplest algebraic object which can be associated with X, from which* can be recovered? The answer seems to be the following: let E (*) be the field of all functions f meromorphic on that f (ǝX) CRU {∞}. This field is an algebraic function field in one variable over the reals. It is natural then to ask the converse question: given such a field E, is there a compact Riemann surface (possibly with boundary) such that EE ()? The such answer to this question, interestingly, is no. The following field, long known to algebraic geometers, supplies a counter-example to 2 2 such a conjecture: let E= R (x, y), where X+ y=-1. The present collaboration began at this juncture. Let (R be the category of all real-algebraic function fields and all real-linear isomorphisms. Given such a field E, the algebraic geometers have long known how to associate a curve X with E; for example let X={0: 0 a valuation ring of E over R}. The usual topology put on such a curve is the Zariski topology in
