[SOLVED] Complex Variables. Problem about complex sine.

Homework Statement

Proof that the function
\begin{displaymath}<br /> \begin{array}{cccc}<br /> f: &amp;A=\left\{z\in\mathbb{C}\mid-\frac{\pi}{2}&lt;\Re z&lt;\frac{\pi}{2}\right\} &amp;\longrightarrow &amp;B=\mathbb{C}-\left\{z\in\mathbb{C}\mid \Im{z}=0,\,\left\vert\Re z\right\vert\geq 1\right\}\\<br /> &amp;z &amp;\mapsto &amp;\sin(z)<br /> \end{array}<br /> \end{displaymath}
is a biyection.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I have already proven (on the previous exercise of my book) that the complex sine is inyective on a vertical band of the complex plane of width \pi. Then I have only to proof that the function is surjective or that there exists left inverse (more difficult since its multivaluated in general).

My problem is that I have no idea how to proof that since I have saw that the complex sine maps vertical lines in the complex plane to hyperbolas and horizontal ones to ellipses. Then I think it's imposible that the sine could map the set A to the set B one-one because the hyperbolas and the ellipses I have mentioned get out from B.

I did this very same problem recently. Fortunately, the book had already proven that sin(z) maps the strip \{x + iy : 0 \le x \le \pi/2 and y \ge 0\} in a one-to-one fashion onto the first quadrant.

Then, using the fact that \sin(-\bar{z}) = -\overline{\sin(z)}, one may show that sin(z) maps the strip \{x + iy : -\pi/2 \le x \le \pi/2 and y &gt; 0\} to the upper half-plane bijectively.

Similarly, one may show that sin(z) maps the strip \{x + iy : -\pi/2 \le x \le \pi/2 and y &lt; 0\} to the lower half-plane bijectively.

Now all that's left is to consider the strip \{x + iy : -\pi/2 \le x \le \pi/2 and y = 0\} which I leave to you.
