Math Problem Statement

Wouldn't this be true? When we map region onto unit circle, consider mapping of a line connecting z0 and point z on the boundary of the region. Transformation maps z0 to the origin, z is mapped to z'=exp(i*pheta) and infinity and mapped to infinity. The mapping can be done by Mobius transformation, which is analytic. Since mapping is analytic at each point, it is analytic everywhere.

Solution

Yes, your reasoning is fundamentally correct. A Möbius transformation, given by f(z)=az+bcz+df(z) = \frac{az + b}{cz + d}, is a conformal map (analytic and preserves angles) that maps circles and lines to circles and lines. In your scenario:

  1. Mapping z0z_0 to the origin: A Möbius transformation can always be adjusted to map z0z_0 to 00, ensuring that the region is positioned suitably in the complex plane.

  2. Mapping zz on the boundary to z=eiθz' = e^{i\theta}: The boundary of the region is mapped to the unit circle, where points are represented as eiθe^{i\theta}, which is consistent with Möbius transformations.

  3. Mapping infinity to infinity: Möbius transformations can also handle infinity due to their projective nature. Mapping infinity to itself is an important property for preserving the structure of certain domains.

  4. Analyticity: Since Möbius transformations are rational functions with non-zero denominators, they are analytic everywhere in the complex plane except possibly at isolated singularities (e.g., where the denominator is zero). In this case, your described mapping avoids singularities in the domain of interest, ensuring analyticity everywhere.

  5. Conclusion: The mapping is analytic everywhere within the region because Möbius transformations are globally analytic except at poles, which are outside the mapped region in your case.
