Solve Complex Analysis Problem: Find 4 Points Mapping to 1

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving the complex analysis problem involving the function f(z) = e^(z+iπ) and finding four points that map to 1. The solution involves using the logarithm multifunction, where the inverse g(z) can be expressed as g(1) = (1/πi) log(1) = (1/πi)(0 + i(θ + 2nπ)). By selecting n values such as 0, 1, 2, and 3, one can derive the four distinct points corresponding to the chosen branch of the logarithm. The domain of this branch is the complex plane excluding the branch cut, typically along the negative real axis.

i am trying to solve below problem but not getting start; so please help

The function f(z) = e^(z+i*pi) has infinitely many points in the fiber of each point in its range.

(A) Find four points that map to 1
(B) The natural inverse of f(z), say g(z) maps each point in its domain to infinitely points, as with log(z). For example, g(1) is infinitely many points, including the four you provided in the first part of the problem.
i. Choose a branch of g(z)
ii. Sketch the domain of this branch
iii. Sketch the range of this branch
IV, Indicate which point in the set g(1) is the image of 1 under your branch.

i have tried using following formula:
f(z)= az +b/cz+d
f1(z)= z+d/c
f2(z)= 1/z
f3(z)= (-(ad-bc)/c^2)*z
f4(z)= z+a/c

but getting nothing. can anyone help me with this?

What's with that fiber thing and all those things you trying? This has to do with the logarithm multifunction. For example, if:

u=e^{\pi iz}

then it's inverse is the log multifunction:

z=\frac{1}{\pi i} \log(u)=\frac{1}{\pi i}(\ln|u|+i(\theta+2n \pi))

So just set u=1 and use the first four n's like 0, 1, 2, 3 to get your four values. Each n corresponds to a particular single-valued branch of the log function. Choose one. It's domain is the complex plane minus it's branch-cut which you have to define. Usually, the branch cut is along the negative real axis. Try and answer your question from the perspective of this multi-valued log function and a particular "branch" you choose by letting the argument run through say n\pi \leq \theta<(n+2)\pi
