Is Complex Conjugate Integration Valid on Contour |z|=1?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion confirms the validity of the statement \(\oint\overline{z}dz = \oint\frac{1}{z}dz\) over the contour \(|z|=1\). It is established that for any complex number \(z\) on this contour, the relationship \(z^* = z^{-1}\) holds true. This equivalence is crucial for understanding complex conjugate integration in the context of contour integrals.

i was thinking this over, and i'd like to know if the following statement is valid:

\oint\overline{z}dz = \oint1/zdz

over the contour \left|z\right|=1

any thoughts?

That is obviously true and then some.
In fact z*=z^-1 whenever |z|=1
