    Isomorphism
In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of analytic isomorphism between an annulus and a punctured disc. The theorem states that the two are isomorphic if their radii have a specific ratio. However, the example of $A_{1,2}$ and the punctured disc with a radius approaching infinity serves as a counterexample to this theorem. The conversation then explores alternative ways to show this without relying on the theorem.

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.
 

1. What is the difference between an annulus and a punctured unit disc?

An annulus is a geometric shape that resembles a ring or donut, with a circular outer boundary and a circular inner boundary. A punctured unit disc, on the other hand, is a disc with a hole in the center, similar to a bullseye. The main difference between the two is that the annulus has two boundaries, while the punctured unit disc only has one.

2. How are analytic isomorphism and conformal equivalence related to annulus and punctured unit disc?

Analytic isomorphism is a mathematical concept that describes a one-to-one correspondence between two analytic functions. In the case of annulus and punctured unit disc, an analytic isomorphism can be used to map points on the annulus to points on the punctured unit disc, and vice versa. This is possible because the two shapes are conformally equivalent, meaning they have the same shape but may differ in size or orientation.

3. Can an annulus and a punctured unit disc be considered topologically equivalent?

Yes, an annulus and a punctured unit disc are topologically equivalent. This means that they have the same topological properties, such as connectedness and continuity. However, they are not analytically equivalent, as the presence or absence of a hole in the center makes a significant difference in the behavior of analytic functions on the two shapes.

4. What are some practical applications of understanding analytic isomorphism between annulus and punctured unit disc?

Understanding analytic isomorphism between annulus and punctured unit disc can be useful in various fields, such as complex analysis, differential geometry, and physics. It can help in solving problems involving conformal mappings, as well as in designing and analyzing electrical circuits and fluid flow systems.

5. How does the concept of analytic isomorphism extend to other geometric shapes?

Analytic isomorphism can be extended to any two geometric shapes that are conformally equivalent, meaning they can be mapped onto each other in a one-to-one manner without changing their shape. This includes shapes such as the torus, the sphere, and the hyperbolic plane. In general, any two shapes that can be smoothly deformed into each other without tearing or gluing can be considered analytically isomorphic.
