To prove that $A_1 = \{z \in \Bbb C : |z| < 1\}$ is conformally equivalent to $A_2 = \{z \in A_1 : \operatorname{Im}(z) > 0\}$, one can use the Riemann mapping theorem, which states that any simply connected open subset of the complex plane can be conformally mapped to the unit disk. The mapping function can be defined as a suitable transformation, such as a linear fractional transformation, that maps the unit disk onto the upper half-plane. The key is to demonstrate that both sets are simply connected and that a bijective holomorphic function exists between them. The solution emphasizes the importance of understanding conformal mappings in complex analysis.

Here's this week's problem!

________________

Problem. Let $A_1 = \{z \in \Bbb C : |z| < 1\}$ and $A_2 = \{z \in A_1 : \operatorname{Im}(z) > 0\}$. Prove $A_1$ is conformally equivalent to $A_2$.

Euge has asked me to fill in this week. :)

No one answered this week's problem correctly. Here is the solution from Euge:
The function $S(z) = \frac{1 + z}{1 - z}$ maps $A_2$ conformally onto the first quadrant. Squaring will map the first quadrant conformally onto the upper-half plane. Composing with $T(z) = \frac{z - i}{1 - iz}$ will map the upper-half plane conformally onto $A_1$. So the function $F(z) = T(S(z)^2)$ is a conformal equivalence of $A_2$ with $A_1$.
