SUMMARY

An annulus cannot be analytically isomorphic to a punctured unit disc due to the differing properties of their boundaries. Specifically, the theorem states that an annulus $A_{r,R}$ is analytically isomorphic to another annulus $A_{s,S}$ if and only if the ratio $R/r = S/s$. For the annulus $A_{1,2}$, this ratio equals 2, while the punctured unit disc approaches infinity as $s$ approaches 0. This discrepancy serves as a definitive counterexample to the possibility of such an isomorphism.

Why can't an annulus be analytically isomorphic to the punctured unit disc?

$A_{r,R}$ is an annulus

Theorem: $A_{r,R}$ is analytically isomorphic to $A_{s,S}$ iff $R/r = S/s$.

If our annulus $A_{1,2}$, then $R/r = 2$ and the punctured disc would be $\lim\limits_{s\to 0}1/s = \infty$.

So here is a counter example.

How can I do this without invoking this theorem?
 
Re: analytic ismoprhism

How about this?

Let $f:\mathbb{D}\to A_{1,2}$.
Let $U$ be an open neighborhood of 0 of radius $\epsilon > 0$.
Then $f(U)\subset A_{1,2}$.
Letting $\epsilon$ be small enough we would have that $f(U)$ is not in the annulus.
 
As shown by this animation, the fibers of the Hopf fibration of the 3-sphere are circles (click on a point on the sphere to visualize the associated fiber). As far as I understand, they never intersect and their union is the 3-sphere itself. I'd be sure whether the circles in the animation are given by stereographic projection of the 3-sphere from a point, say the "equivalent" of the ##S^2## north-pole. Assuming the viewpoint of 3-sphere defined by its embedding in ##\mathbb C^2## as...
