Hello,
This was an exam question which I wasn't sure how to solve:

Suppose f is entire and |f(z)| \leq C(1+ |z|)^n for all z \in \mathbb{C} and for some n \in \mathbb{N}.
Prove that f is a polynomial of degree less than or equal to n.

I know that f can be expressed as a power series, but I'm not sure how to show that the upper limit of the sum has to be less than or equal to n.

Thanks!

Hints:

  • $f^{(n)}(z)$ is entire for all $n\in{\mathbb{N}}$.
  • $\frac{1}{2\pi\cdot i}\cdot \oint_\Gamma \frac{f(z)}{(z-w)^{n+1}}dz = \frac{f^{(n)}(w)}{n!}$ where $\Gamma$ is, say, a circle centered at $w$ of radius $R$.
  • What can you say, then, about $f^{(n)}(w)$ for some $n$ ? (Hint: try to find a uniform bound for $f^{(n)}(w)$ on the whole plane)
 
A sphere as topological manifold can be defined by gluing together the boundary of two disk. Basically one starts assigning each disk the subspace topology from ##\mathbb R^2## and then taking the quotient topology obtained by gluing their boundaries. Starting from the above definition of 2-sphere as topological manifold, shows that it is homeomorphic to the "embedded" sphere understood as subset of ##\mathbb R^3## in the subspace topology.
