    Mapping
In summary, the conversation discusses using the Schwarz lemma to prove that any biholomorphic mapping from the unit disk to itself must have a specific form, which includes a condition of |\zeta|=1 and a being in the unit disk. This can then be used to show that if f is a biholomorphic mapping from Ω to Ω with f(a) = a and f'(a) = 1 for some a in Ω, then f(z) must equal z for all z in Ω.

Suppose f is a biholomorphic mapping from Ω to Ω, if f(a) = a and f'(a) = 1 for some a in Ω, can we prove that f(z) = z for all z in Ω?

look at the corresponding result for the unit disc, then look at the riemann mapping theorem that says every simply connected proper open set in the plane is equivalent to the disc. (i don't know the answer.)

Schwarz lemma ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarz_lemma ) can be used to prove that the only biholomorphic mappings from the unit disk to itself have the form

[itex]\varphi(z)=\zeta \frac{z-a}{\overline{a}z-1}[/itex]

with [itex]|\zeta|=1[/itex] and a in the unit disk. Use this.
 

FAQ: Biholomorphic Mapping: Proving f(z) = z for All z in Ω?

What is a biholomorphic mapping?

A biholomorphic mapping is a type of function in complex analysis that is both holomorphic and bijective. This means that it is differentiable and has a one-to-one correspondence between the points of two complex domains.

2. What does it mean to prove f(z) = z for all z in Ω?

Proving f(z) = z for all z in Ω means showing that the function f(z) is equal to the complex variable z for every point in the domain Ω. In other words, the function maps every point in the domain to itself.

3. How do you prove that a mapping is biholomorphic?

To prove that a mapping is biholomorphic, you must show that it is both holomorphic and bijective. This can be done by demonstrating that the function is differentiable and has a one-to-one correspondence between the points of two complex domains.

4. What is the importance of proving f(z) = z for all z in Ω?

Proving f(z) = z for all z in Ω is important because it shows that the function is an identity mapping, meaning it preserves the structure and properties of the domain. This is useful in various areas of mathematics and physics, such as conformal mapping and complex integration.

5. What are some techniques for proving f(z) = z for all z in Ω?

There are several techniques that can be used to prove f(z) = z for all z in Ω, including using the definition of a biholomorphic mapping, using the Cauchy-Riemann equations, and using the analyticity of the function. Other techniques include using the inverse function theorem and proving that the function is a conformal mapping.
