4.6.5 Exercise 1

The document discusses several exercises related to complex analysis: 1) It proves that an entire holomorphic function f that satisfies certain conditions on the real and imaginary axes must be a constant function. 2) It analyzes an entire function f that satisfies certain modulus conditions on the unit disk and shows that f must be a rational function. 3) It proves uniform convergence of a power series on compact subsets of its region of convergence using Weierstrass M-test and properties of harmonic series.

R 2 jzj __ 2 d_ = 8_ R2 (R 2 jzj)2 Letting R ! 1, we conclude that jf0(z)j _ 8_. Since z 2 C was arbitrary, we conclude that jf0(z)j 8_ 8z 2 C. Since _ > 0 was arbitrary, we conclude that f0(z) = 0, which shows that f is constant.

4.6.5 Exercise 1
Let f : C ! C be an entire holomorphic function satisfying f(R) _ R and f(i _ R) _ i _ R. Since f(R) _ R, f(z) f(z) vanishes on the real axis. By the limit-point uniqueness theorem that f(z) = f(z) 8z 2 C Since f(iR) _ iR, f(z)+f( z) vanishes on the imaginary axis. By the limit-point uniqueness theorem that f(z) = f( z) 8z 2 C Combining these two results, we have f(z) = f( z) = f( z) = f( z) 8z 2 C

4.6.5 Exercise 3
Let f : D ! C be holomorphic and satisfy jf(z)j = 1 8 jzj = 1. Let _ : C [ f1g ! C [ f1g be the linear fractional transformation _(z) = z i z+i Consider the function g = _ 1 _ f _ _ : H+ ! C. By the maximum modulus principle, jf(z)j _ 1 8 jzj _ 1. Hence, g : H+ ! H+ . Since jf(z)j = 1 8 jzj = 1, _ 1(f(z)) 2 R 8 jzj = 1. Hence, ~ f(R) _ R. By the Schwarz Reection Principle, g extends to an entire function g : C ! C satisfying g(z) = g(z). De_ne ~ f = _ _ g _ _ 1: C ! C Then ~ f is meromorphic in C since _ has a pole at z = i and _ 1 has a pole at z = 1. In particular, ~ f has _nitely many poles. We proved in Problem Set 1 (Ahlfors Section 4.3.2 Exercise 4) that a function meromorphic in the extended complex plane is a rational function, so we need to verify that ~ f doesn't have an essential singularity at 1. But in a neighborhood of 0, ~f _ 1 z _ =__g _ i 1+1

z 1 _ which is evidently a meromorphic function. Alternatively, we note that 8 jzj _ 1, ___ ~ f(z) ___ _ 1 since g maps H onto H . So the image of ~ f in a suitable neighborhood of 1 is not dense in C. The Casorati-Weierstrass theorem then tells us that ~ f cannot have an essential singularity at 1. 13
