SUMMARY

The function $g(z)=\overline{f(\overline{z})}$ is holomorphic in the set $G^{\ast}=\{\overline{z}:z\in G\}$, given that the function $f$ is holomorphic in the open set $G\subset\CC$. This conclusion is established through the properties of holomorphic functions and the behavior of complex conjugation. The proof demonstrates that the composition of holomorphic functions maintains holomorphicity under the specified transformations.

Here is this week's POTW, suggested by Chris L T521:

-----
$\newcommand{\CC}{\mathbb{C}}$ Let the function $f$ be holomorphic in the open set $G\subset\CC$. Prove that the function $g(z)=\overline{f(\overline{z})}$ is holomorphic in the set $G^{\ast}=\{\overline{z}:z\in G\}$.

This week's problem was answered correctly by Cbarker1. You can read his solution below.
Let $g: G^{\ast} \to \Bbb{C}$ is given by $g(z)=\overline{f(\overline{z})}$. By definition of holomorphic, let $z_0 \in G^{\ast}$ be arbitrary, we have
\begin{align*}
&g'(z_0)=\lim_{{z}\to{z_0}}\frac{g(z)-g(z_0)}{z-z_0}\\
& =\lim_{{z}\to{z_0}}\frac{\overline{f(\overline{z})}-\overline{f(\overline{z_0})}}{z-z_0} & (\text{by the definition of g})\\
& =\lim_{{z}\to{z_0}}\frac{\overline{f(\overline{z})-f(\overline{z_0})}}{z-z_0} \\
&=\overline{f'(\overline{z_0})} &(\text{f is holomorphic}).
\end{align*}Thus, $g$ is holomorphic in the set $G^{\ast}$.
