Suppose that there is no finite sub-covering of \( S \) by open sets \( {U}_{i} \) . Then for each \( n \) there exists one of the open discs \( {D}_{n} \) from the preceding finite number such t...

Proof. Geometrically speaking, the tangent vectors under \( f \) are changed by multiplication with \( {f}^{\prime }\left( {z}_{0}\right) \), which can be represented in polar coordinates as a dilation and a rotation, so preserves the angles.\n\nWe shall now give a more formal argument, dealing with the cosine and sine...

Theorem 2.5. Let \( \sum {a}_{n}{z}^{n} \) be a power series. If it does not converge absolutely for all \( z \), then there exists a number \( r \) such that the series converges absolutely for \( \left| z\right| < r \) and does not converge absolutely for \( \left| z\right| > r \) .

Proof. Multiplying \( f \) by some constant, we may assume without loss of generality that the constant term is 1 , so we write\n\n\[ f = 1 + {a}_{1}T + {a}_{2}{T}^{2} + \cdots = 1 - h\left( T\right) ,\]\n\nwhere \( h\left( T\right) \) has constant term equal to 0 .

Theorem 6.4. Let \( f \) be analytic on an open set \( U \), and assume that \( f \) is injective. Let \( V = f\left( U\right) \) be its image. Then \( f : U \rightarrow V \) is an analytic isomorphism, and \( {f}^{\prime }\left( z\right) \neq 0 \) for all \( z \in U \) .
Proof. The function \( f \) between \( U \) and \( V \) is bijective, so we can define an inverse mapping \( g : V \rightarrow U \) . Let \( {z}_{0} \) be a point of \( U \), and let the power series expansion of \( f \) at \( {z}_{0} \) be as in Theorem 6.3. If \( m > 1 \) then we see that \( f \) cannot be injective,...

Yes
Example 3. Let \( f\left( z\right) = \cos z \) . Determine whether \( f \) is locally invertible at \( z = 0 \) .
In this case, \[ f\left( z\right) = 1 - \frac{{z}^{2}}{2} + \text{ higher terms,} \] so \( {a}_{1} = 0 \) and \( f \) is not locally invertible.

Example 2. Let \( f\left( z\right) = {z}^{3} \) . Then \( f \) has a primitive, \( g\left( z\right) = {z}^{4}/4 \) . Hence the integral of \( f \) from \( 2 + {3i} \) to \( 1 - i \) over any path is equal to

Let \( f\left( z\right) = {e}^{z} \) . Find the integral of \( f \) from 1 to in taken over a line segment.
Here again \( {f}^{\prime }\left( z\right) = f\left( z\right) \), so \( f \) has a primitive. Thus the integral is independent of the path and equal to \( {e}^{i\pi } - {e}^{1} = - 1 - e \) .

Let \( f\left( z\right) = {z}^{n} \), where \( n \) is an integer \( \neq - 1 \) . Then for any closed path \( \gamma \) (or any closed path not passing through the origin if \( n \) is negative), we have\n\n\[{\int }_{\gamma }{z}^{n}{dz} = 0\]
This is true because \( {z}^{n} \) has the primitive \( {z}^{n + 1}/\left( {n + 1}\right) \) . [When \( n \) is negative, we have to assume that the closed path does not pass through the origin, because the function is then not defined at the origin.]

Lemma 4.2. Let \( \gamma : \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \rightarrow U \) be a continuous curve. Let\n\n\[ \n{a}_{0} = a \leqq {a}_{1} \leqq {a}_{2} \leqq \cdots \leqq {a}_{n} = b \n\]\n\nbe a partition of \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) such that the image \( \gamma \left( \left\lbrack {{a}_{i},{a}_{i + 1}}\...
Proof. First let us work with the given partition, but let \( {B}_{i} \) be another disc containing the image \( \gamma \left( \left\lbrack {{a}_{i},{a}_{i + 1}}\right\rbrack \right) \), and \( {B}_{i} \) contained in \( U \) .

Lemma 4.3. Let \( \gamma ,\eta \) be two continuous paths in an open set \( U \), and assume that they have the same beginning point and the same end point. Assume also that they are close together. Let \( f \) be holomorphic on \( U \) . Then\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{\gamma }f = {\int }_{\eta }f \n\]
Proof. We suppose that the paths are defined on the same interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \), and we choose a partition and discs \( {D}_{i} \) as above. Let \( {g}_{i} \) be a primitive of \( f \) on \( {D}_{i} \) . Let\n\n\[ \n{z}_{i} = \gamma \left( {a}_{i}\right) \;\text{ and }\;{w}_{i} = \eta \left( {a...

Lemma 4.4. Let \( \gamma ,\eta \) be closed continuous paths in the open set \( U \), say defined on the same interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) . Assume that they are close together. Let \( f \) be holomorphic on \( U \) . Then\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{\gamma }f = {\int }_{\eta }f \n\]
Proof. The proof is the same as above, except that the reason why we find 0 in the last step is now slightly different. Since the paths are closed, we have\n\n\[ \n{z}_{0} = {z}_{n}\;\text{ and }\;{w}_{0} = {w}_{n}, \n\]\n\nas illustrated in Fig. 15. The two primitives \( {g}_{n - 1} \) and \( {g}_{0} \) differ by a co...

Let \( \gamma ,\eta \) be closed paths in \( U \), and assume that they are homotopic in \( U \). Let \( f \) be holomorphic on \( U \). Then \[ {\int }_{\gamma }f = {\int }_{\eta }f \] In particular, if \( \gamma \) is homotopic to a point in \( U \), then \[ {\int }_{\gamma }f = 0 \]
The formal proof runs as follows. Let \[ \psi : \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \times \left\lbrack {c, d}\right\rbrack \rightarrow U \] be the homotopy. The image of \( \psi \) is compact, and hence has distance \( > 0 \) from the complement of \( U \). By uniform continuity we can therefore find partitions \[ a = {a...

Lemma 5.3. Let \( S \) be a convex set, and let \( \gamma ,\eta \) be continuous closed curves in \( S \) . Then \( \gamma ,\eta \) are homotopic in \( S \) .

We define\n\n\[ \psi \left( {t, s}\right) = {s\gamma }\left( t\right) + \left( {1 - s}\right) \eta \left( t\right) \]\n\nIt is immediately verified that each curve \( {\psi }_{s} \) defined by \( {\psi }_{s}\left( t\right) = \psi \left( {t, s}\right) \) is a closed curve, and \( \psi \) is continuous.

Theorem 7.2. Let \( f \) be holomorphic on an open set \( U \) . Then \( f \) is analytic on \( U \) .
Proof. We must show that \( f \) has a power series expansion at every point \( {z}_{0} \) of \( U \) . Because \( U \) is open, for each \( {z}_{0} \in U \) there is some \( R > 0 \) such that the closed disc \( \bar{D}\left( {{z}_{0}, R}\right) \) centered at \( {z}_{0} \) and of radius \( R \) is contained in \( U \...

Suppose that there exists a constant \( C \) and a positive integer \( k \) such that\n\n\[ \parallel f{\parallel }_{R} \leqq C{R}^{k} \]\n\nfor arbitrarily large \( R \) . Then ...
Proof. Exercise 3, but we carry out one important special case explicitly:

Theorem 7.5 (Liouville's Theorem). A bounded entire function is constant.
Proof. If \( f \) is bounded, then \( \parallel f{\parallel }_{R} \) is bounded for all \( R \) . In the preceding theorem, we let \( R \) tend to infinity, and conclude that the coefficients are all equal to 0 if \( n \geqq 1 \) . This proves Liouville’s theorem.

Corollary 7.6. A polynomial over the complex numbers which does not have a root in \( \mathbf{C} \) is constant.
Proof. Let \( f\left( z\right) \) be a non-constant polynomial,\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = {a}_{n}{z}^{n} + \cdots + {a}_{0}, \]\n\nwith \( {a}_{n} \neq 0 \) .

If \( z \) is not on \( \gamma \), define\n\n\[...
Proof. Let \( {z}_{0} \in U \) and \( {z}_{0} \) not on \( \gamma \) . Since the image of \( \gamma \) is compact, there is a minimum distance between \( {z}_{0} \) and points on \( \gamma \) .

Proof. This is immediate by using Theorem 7.1, and putting \( g = f \) inside the integral, with a factor of \( 1/{2\pi i} \) in front. The factor \( R \) in the numerator comes from the length of the circle in the integral. The \( {2\pi } \) in the denominator cancels the \( {2\pi } \) in the numerator, coming from th...
