Mobius Maps: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, Disjoint Circles

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on Mobius maps, specifically analyzing their effects on parallel and perpendicular lines as well as disjoint circles in the complex plane. It establishes that a Mobius map can transform lines parallel to the real axis into circles through the origin and lines perpendicular to the real axis into circles that also pass through the origin. The discussion also addresses the condition under which a Mobius map takes the unit disk onto itself, defined by the equation Tz = e^i(theta) * (z-a)/(1-az), where 'a' is within the disk and 'theta' is a real number. Lastly, it poses a challenge regarding the existence of a Mobius map that can map two disjoint circles to concentric circles.

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?
