Complex Analysis, holomorphic in circle.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the implications of Cauchy's theorem in complex analysis, specifically regarding corollary 2.3. Participants highlight that Cauchy's theorem asserts that if a function f(z) is holomorphic, then its closed loop integral is zero. The necessity of the larger disk D' is questioned, as the argument typically aligns with the proof of Cauchy's theorem, emphasizing that the loop must be contained within the domain where f is holomorphic and must be shrinkable within that domain.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Cauchy's theorem in complex analysis
  • Knowledge of holomorphic functions
  • Familiarity with closed loop integrals
  • Concept of compactness in mathematical domains
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the proof of Cauchy's theorem in detail
  • Explore the properties of holomorphic functions
  • Investigate the concept of compactness in complex analysis
  • Learn about the implications of closed loop integrals in various domains
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those specializing in complex analysis, as well as educators seeking to deepen their understanding of Cauchy's theorem and its applications.

Hi, I have a question regarding corollary 2.3. in the uploaded image.

it looks very trivial to me becauese Cauchy's theorem states "if f(z) is holomorphic, its closed loop integral
will be always 0". Is this what the author is trying to say? what's the necesseity of the larger disk D' at here?
Why do we use D'?

You understand right, just do not bother about that. Usually such a type argument (about D') is already contained in the proof of the Cauchy theorem. Look above how they formulate Cauchy theorem.

the loop must be in the domain where f is holomorphic and this loop must be shrinkable in this domain. and the loop must be contained compactly in the domain
