Complex Analysis, holomorphic in circle.

In summary, the conversation discusses the significance of corollary 2.3 in relation to Cauchy's theorem and the use of a larger disk D'. It is mentioned that the closed loop integral of a holomorphic function is always 0. The necessity of the larger disk and its role in the proof of Cauchy's theorem is also mentioned.

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

1. What is Complex Analysis?

Complex Analysis is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of functions of complex numbers. It is also known as the theory of functions of a complex variable.

2. What does it mean for a function to be holomorphic?

A holomorphic function is a complex-valued function that is differentiable at every point in its domain. It is also known as an analytic function and has a well-defined derivative at each point.

3. What is the significance of the circle in Complex Analysis?

In Complex Analysis, the unit circle (a circle with radius 1 centered at the origin) is often used as a special case to study the properties of holomorphic functions. This is because the circle is a simple and well-understood geometric shape, making it easier to analyze and understand the behavior of functions on and within the circle.

4. How is the concept of holomorphic in a circle applied in real-world situations?

The concept of holomorphic in a circle has various applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. For example, in physics, it is used to study the behavior of electric and magnetic fields around a circle. In engineering, it is used in signal processing and control theory. In economics, it is used to model and analyze cyclical patterns in financial markets.

5. Are there any limitations to the use of Complex Analysis in studying functions?

Complex Analysis has its limitations, as it only applies to functions of a complex variable. It cannot be used to study real-valued functions or functions with more than one complex variable. Additionally, the techniques and methods used in Complex Analysis may not be applicable to certain types of functions, such as discontinuous or non-differentiable functions.
