What is |exp (z^n)| less than if |z| < 1? I'm thinking it's e but I'm having a brain freeze at the moment! Thanks for any help guys.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
put z=a+ib then expand $$(a+ib)^n$$ using the binomial expansion ...

Welcome to MHB, buckylomax! :)

That sounds fine to me.

$$|\exp(z^n)| = \exp(\Re(z^n)) \le \exp(|z^n|) = \exp(|z|^n) < \exp(1^n) = e$$

That's what I was thinking but I just couldn't articulate it to the end. I think I broke my brain because I've been studying complex analysis for the past 8 hours (Puke)

Thanks a lot for the help.

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.
