SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the validity of the relation ∂x/∂y = -∂y/∂x in the context of complex analysis and its extension to general two-dimensional planes. The participants confirm that for the function f(z) = z, which is analytic, the Cauchy-Riemann equations yield ∂u/∂x = ∂v/∂y = 1 and ∂u/∂y = -∂v/∂x, supporting the relation under specific conditions. The inquiry extends to whether this relationship holds universally in two-dimensional spaces, with a consensus that it does apply in such contexts.
