Homework Statement


Suppose T is a Mobius map take Real -> Real and infinite infinitely to 0
a) What's the image of the family of lines parallel to Real?
b) What's the image of the family of lines perpendicular to Real?
c) Show the Mobius map take D = {z :|z|<1} onto itself iff Tz = e^i(theta) * (z-a)/(1-az)
for a belongs to D and theta belongs to Real
d) C1 and C2 are disjoint circles in Complex . Show there's a Mobius map s.t. TC1 and TC2 are concentric

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


a) Since the mobius map take infinitely to 0, we are expect to get a circle through 0?
b) Since the mobius map take infinitely to 0, we are expect to get a circle through 0 and perpendicular to Real? (since mobius map preserves angle)?
c) let z = e^iT ?
d) i hv no idea

Neat questions. I don't have a clue either.
Anyone want to help?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
