Review on Cauchy Integrals

The cauchy integral of function \phi (may not be holomorphic) on curve \Gamma (may not be closed) is


\int_{\Gamma}\frac{\phi(\zeta)}{\zeta-z}d\zeta

The Cauchy integral theorem states that if f is holomorphic on a simply connected domain D, then the integral of f over any closed curve \gamma in D is 0.


\int_{\gamma}f(z)dz = 0

The Cauchy integral formula states that if f is holomorphic on a simply connected domain D, then f over any closed curve \gamma in D is


f(z) = \frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\gamma}\frac{f(\zeta)}{\zeta-z}d\zeta

Convergence of functions

Theorem 7.15 Weierstrass Convergence Theorem

Limit of a sequence of holomorphic functions is holomorphic.

Let G be an open subset of \mathbb{C} and let \left(f_n\right)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of holomorphic functions on G that converges locally uniformly to f on G. Then f is holomorphic on G.

Proof:

Let z_0\in G. There exists a neighborhood \overline{B_r(z_0)}\subset G of z_0 such that \left(f_n\right)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} converges uniformly on \overline{B_r(z_0)}.

Let C_r=\partial B_r(z_0).

By Cauchy integral formula, we have


f_n(z_0) = \frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{C_r}\frac{f_n(\zeta)}{\zeta-z_0}d\zeta

\forall z\in B_r(z_0), we have \frac{f(w)}{w-\zeta} converges uniformly on C_r.

So \lim_{n\to\infty}f_n(z_0) = f(z_0) = \frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{C_r}\frac{f(w)}{w-z_0}dw

So f is holomorphic on G.

Theorem 7.16 Maximum Modulus Principle

If f is a non-constant holomorphic function on a domain D (open and connected subset of \mathbb{C}), then |f| does not attain a local maximum value on D.

Proof:

Assume at some point z_0\in D, |f(z_0)| is a local maximum. \exists r>0 such that \forall z\in \overline{B_r(z_0)}, |f(z)|\leq |f(z_0)|.

If f(z_0)=0, then f(z) is identically 0 on B_r(z_0). (by identity theorem)

Else, we can assume that without loss of generality that f(z_0)>0. By mean value theorem,


f(z_0) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}f(z_0+re^{i\theta})d\theta

So f(z_0) =

Corollary 7.16.1 Minimum Modulus Principle

If f is a non-constant holomorphic function on a domain D (open and connected subset of \mathbb{C}), and f is non zero on D, then \frac{1}{f} does not attain a local minimum value on D.

Proof:

Let g(z) = \frac{1}{f(z)}. g is holomorphic on D.

QED

Theorem 7.17 Schwarz Lemma

Let f be a holomorphic map of the open unit disk D into itself, and f(0)=0. Then \forall z\in D, |f(z)|\leq |z| and |f'(0)|\leq 1.

And the equality holds if and only if f is a rotation, that is, f(z)=e^{i\theta}z for some \theta\in\mathbb{R}.

Proof:

Let


g(z) = \begin{cases}
\frac{f(z)}{z} & z\neq 0 \\
f'(0) & z=0
\end{cases}

We claim that g is holomorphic on D.

For z\neq 0, g(z) is holomorphic since f is holomorphic on D.

For z=0, g(z) is holomorphic since $f$'s power series expansion has c_0=f(0)=0. g'(0)=f'(0)=c_1+c_2z+c_3z^2+\cdots.

So g is (analytic) thus holomorphic on D.

On the boundary of D, |g(z)|\leq\frac{1}{r} \cdot 1. By maximum modulus principle, |g(z)|\leq 1 on D.

So |f(z)|\leq |z| on D.

And |f'(0)|\leq 1.

Schwarz-Pick Lemma

Let f be a holomorphic map of the open unit disk D into itself, then for any z,w\in D,


\frac{|f(z)-f(w)|}{|1-\overline{f(w)}f(z)|}\leq\frac{|z-w|}{|1-\overline{w}z|}=\rho(z,w)
