Let f(z be aalytic i D except at a fiite umber of poits z,..., z k o the uit circle z where f(z has first order poles with residues s,..., s k. Let the Taylor series of f(z at the origi be f(z a z.

The which implies that lim sup b r <, lim sup b <, which i tur implies that there exists some costat B > such that b < B for all.

Suppose that f is a holomorphic fuctio o A such that the restrictio f α is oe-to-oe. Prove that f has at most oe zero i I (α. Proof. Note that f has o poles. First, suppose that f has o zero o α. The the argumet priciple implies that Z Z P 2πi α f (z dz (f(α,, f(z where Z is the umber of zeroes of f i I α. P is the umber of poles of f i I α. ad (f(α, is the widig umber of f(α aroud zero.

Complex 2. #3.7 Fid the set of all possible orietatio-preservig coformal maps from A {z C : < I(z < π} to B {z C : I(z > }, ad prove that o other maps are possible. Proof. First, observe that for ay fixed y (, π, the straight horizotal lie {t + iy : t R} gets mapped by f(z e z to {e t e iy : t R}, which is a ope ray from the origi to at agle y. Thus, sice the map is, f is a orietatio-preservig coformal mappig of A to B. Observe that the orietatio-preservig coformal maps from B to itself are of the form h(z az + b cz + d, where a, b, c, d R ad ad bc ca be assumed to be. Thus, ay map of the form h f is a orietatio-preservig coformal map from A to B. Coversely, give ay orietatio-preservig coformal map φ : A B, the φ f : B B is a orietatio-preservig coformal map from B to itself, so that φ f must have the form of such a h above, but the φ h f i the form we obtaied before. I summary, all orietatio-preservig coformal maps from A to B are of the form F (z aez + b ce z + d, with a, b, c, d R ad we may assume ad bc.

Thus, e u2 f(z u z du 2πie z2 e w2 C e w2 C w z dw w z dw z I(C z outside of C Note that both the top ad the bottom of the right had side give two differet aalytic cotiuatios of f to the iside of C, ad ote that i both cases the formula is valid at all poits away from C.
