Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to present a generalization of Forelli’s theorem for the functions holomorphic along a general pencil of holomorphic discs. This generalizes the main result of Joo et al. (Math Ann 355(3):1171–1176, 2013) and the original Forelli’s theorem, and furthermore, answers one of the problems posed in Chirka (Proc Steklov Inst Math 253(2):212–220, 2006).
