Note on boundedness of the $L$-index in the direction of the composition of slice entire functions by V. P. Baksa, A. I. Bandura, T. M. Salo, O. B. Skaskiv

“…The slice holomorphy in the space means that for some fixed direction $\mathbf{b}\in\mathbb{C}^n\setminus\{\mathbf{0}\}$ and for every point $z^0\in\mathbb{C}^n$ the function is holomorphic on its restriction on the slice $\{z^0+t\mathbf{b}: t\in\mathbb{C}\}.$ An additional assumption on joint continuity for these functions allows to construct an analog of theory of entire functions having bounded index. …”
