<p>for any open set <i>U</i> of <i>M</i>.

</p><p>One can think of <i>H</i><sup>1</sup>(2π<i>i</i><b>Z</b>|<sub><i>U</i></sub>) as associating an integer to each loop in <i>U</i>. For each section of <i>O</i><sub><i>M</i></sub>*, the connecting homomorphism to <i>H</i><sup>1</sup>(2π<i>i</i><b>Z</b>|<sub><i>U</i></sub>) gives the <a href="Winding_number" title="Winding number">winding number</a> for each loop. So this homomorphism is therefore a generalized <a href="Winding_number" title="Winding number">winding number</a> and measures the failure of <i>U</i> to be <a href="Contractible" class="mw-redirect" title="Contractible">contractible</a>. In other words, there is a potential topological obstruction to taking a <i>global</i> logarithm of a non-vanishing holomorphic function, something that is always <i>locally</i> possible.
