### Review the definition of simply connected domain
A domain $\Omega$ is called simply connected if $\overline{C}\setminus \Omega$ is connected if and only if every closed curve in $\Omega$ is null-homotopic in $\Omega$.
Proof:
Last time we proved $\impliedby$ part.
If every closed curve in $\Omega$ is null-homotopic in $\Omega$, then $\operatorname{ind}_\Gamma(z)=0$ for all $z\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\Omega$ for all contour in $\Omega$.
$\implies$ $\mathbb{C}\setminus\Omega$ is connected.
$\impliedby$ part:
....
#### Theorem 10.4-6
The following condition are equivalent:
1. $\Omega$ is simply connected.
2. every holomorphic function on $\Omega$ has a primitive $g$, i.e. $g'(z)=f(z)$ for all $z\in \Omega$.
3. every non-vanishing holomorphic function on $\Omega$ has a holomorphic logarithm.
4. every harmonic function on $\Omega$ has a harmonic conjugate.
### Residue Theorem
#### Theorem 10.8 The Residue Theorem
Let $\Omega$ be a domain, $\Gamma$ be a contour such that $\Gamma\cup \operatorname{int}(\Gamma)\subset \Omega$
Let $f$ be holomorphic on $\Omega\setminus \{z_1, z_2, \cdots, z_n\}$ where $z_1, z_2, \cdots, z_n$ are finitely many points in $\Omega$, where $z_1, z_2, \cdots, z_n\notin \Gamma$.
Then
$$
\int_\Gamma f(z) dz = 2\pi i \sum_{j=1}^n\operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma}(z_j) \operatorname{res}_{z_j}(f)
$$
Proof:
For each $i\leq j\leq n$, let $C_j$ be a circle centered at $z_j\in \Gamma\setminus \Omega$ such that $\operatorname{int}(C_j)\subset \Omega$, counterclockwise and pairwise disjoint.
Let $\Gamma_1=\Gamma\setminus\{z_1, z_2, \cdots, z_n\}$, $\Gamma_1=\Gamma-\sum_{j=1}^n \operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma}(z_j)C_j$ (This excludes the singularities outside $\Gamma$)
$f\in O(\Omega_1)$, $\Gamma_1\in \Omega_1$
and $\operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma_1}(z)=0$ for all $z\in \mathbb{C}\setminus \Omega_1$, either $z\notin \Gamma$ or $z\in\{z_1, z_2, \cdots, z_n\}$.
$\operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma_1}(z_j)=\operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma}(z_j)-1\cdot\operatorname{ind}_{C_j}(z_j)=0$ for all $j=1, 2, \cdots, n$.
By Cauchy's theorem, $\int_{\Gamma_1}f(z)dz=0$.
So, since $f(z)=\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty a_k(z-z_0)^k$, and $\gamma(t)=z_k+Re^{it}$ for $t\in[0, 2\pi]$,$\gamma'(t)=iRe^{it}$,
$$
\begin{aligned}
\int_\Gamma f(z)dz&=\int_{\Gamma_1}f(z)dz+\sum_{j=1}^n\int_{C_j}f(z)dz\\
&=0+\sum_{j=1}^n \operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma}(z_j) \int_{C_j}f(z)dz\\
&=0+\sum_{j=1}^n \operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma}(z_j) \int_{0}^{2\pi}f(z_j+Re^{it})ie^{i\theta}dt\\
&=0+\sum_{j=1}^n \operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma}(z_j) \int_{0}^{2\pi}\left(\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty a_k (z_j-z_0)^k e^{int}\right) iRe^{i\theta}dt\\
&=0+\sum_{j=1}^n \operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma}(z_j) i\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty a_k R^{k+1}\left(\int_{0}^{2\pi} e^{i(k+1)t}dt\right)\\
&=\sum_{j=1}^n 2\pi i \operatorname{ind}_{\Gamma}(z_j) \operatorname{res}_{z_j}(f)\\
\end{aligned}

#### Corollary 10.9 Cauchy's Integral Formula
If $\Gamma$ is a simple contour, $z_0\in \operatorname{int}(\Gamma)$, $g\in O(\Omega)$, then
$$
g(z_0)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\Gamma \frac{g(z)}{z-z_0}dz
$$
Proof:
The right hand side is the residue of $g(z)/(z-z_0)$ at $z_0$.
By the residue theorem,
Notice that $g(z)=a_0+a_1(z-z_0)+a_2(z-z_0)^2+\cdots$, and $\frac{1}{z-z_0}=a_0\sum_{k=0}^\infty (z-z_0)^k$.
So $a_0=g(z_0)$, and $a_k=\frac{g^{(k)}(z_0)}{k!}$ for $k\geq 1$.
$$
\int_\Gamma \frac{g(z)}{z-z_0}dz=2\pi i \operatorname{res}_{z_0}\left(\frac{g(z)}{z-z_0}\right)=2\pi i g(z_0)
$$

## Application to evaluating definite integrals
Idea:
It is easy to evaluate intervals around closed contours.
Choose contour so one side (where you want to integrate).
Handle the other side by:
- Symmetry
- length * supremum of absolute value of integrand
- Bound function by another function whose integral goes to zero.
Example:
Evaluate $\int_0^\infty \frac{\sin x}{x}dx$.
On the contour $\gamma(t)$ be the semicircle in the upper half plane removed the origin.
Then let $f(z)=\frac{e^{iz}}{z}=\frac{\cos z+i\sin z}{z}$, by the Cauchy's theorem,
$$
\int_\gamma f(z)dz=0
$$
So $\frac{\sin z}{z}=0$ on $\gamma$.
If $x\in \mathbb{R}$, $f(x)=\frac{e^{ix}}{x}=\frac{\cos x+i\sin x}{x}$.
On the real axis,
$$
\begin{aligned}
\int_{-R}^{-\epsilon}+\int_\epsilon^R f(x)dx&=\int_{-R}^{-\epsilon}\frac{e^{ix}}{x}dx+\int_\epsilon^R \frac{e^{ix}}{x}dx\\
&=\int_{-R}^{-\epsilon}\frac{\cos x+i\sin x}{x}dx+\int_\epsilon^R \frac{\cos x+i\sin x}{x}dx\\
&=\int_{-R}^{-\epsilon}\frac{\cos x}{x}dx+i\int_{-R}^{-\epsilon}\frac{\sin x}{x}dx+\int_\epsilon^R \frac{\cos x}{x}dx+i\int_\epsilon^R \frac{\sin x}{x}dx\\
&=2i\int_0^\infty \frac{\sin x}{x}dx
\end{aligned}
$$
For the clockwise semi-circle around the origin,
$$
\int_{S_\epsilon} f(z)dz=\int_{S_\epsilon}\frac{e^{iz}}{z}dz
$$
let $\gamma(t)=\epsilon e^{-it}$, $t\in[-\pi,0]$.
Then $\gamma'(t)=-i\epsilon e^{-it}$,
