In summary, an analytic map is a mathematical function used in complex analysis that maps points in one complex space to points in another complex space. It is considered injective if every element in the domain is mapped to a unique element in the codomain, and the condition for this is that the derivative of the map must be non-zero at every point in the domain. This property is important in various areas of mathematics, and can be determined by evaluating the derivative of the map at every point in the domain or using the inverse function theorem.

Here is this week's POTW:

-----
Consider an analytic map $f : \Bbb D \to \Bbb C$ such that $f(z) = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty a_n z^n$ for all $z\in \Bbb D$. Prove that $f$ is injective, provided

$$\sum_{n = 2}^\infty n\lvert a_n\rvert < \lvert a_1\rvert.$$

This week's problem was solved by Kokuhaku. You can read his solution below.
Note that $f'(z)-a_1 = \sum_{n=2}^\infty na_n$ for $z \in \mathbb{D}$, so we actually have $|f'(z)-a_1|<|a_1|$ for $z \in \mathbb{D}$ (use triangle inequality).

Suppose now that $z_1 \neq z_2$ (from $\mathbb{D}$). Then using above inequality and estimation lemma (M-L inequality) we have
\begin{align*}
|f(z_2)-f(z_1)| &= \Bigl|\int_{z_1}^{z_2} f'(z)\, dz\Bigr| = \Bigl|a_1 \int_{z_1}^{z_2} dz + \int_{z_1}^{z_2} (f'(z) - a_1) \, dz\Bigr| \\
&\ge |a_1(z_2-z_1)| - \Bigl|\int_{z_1}^{z_2} (f'(z) - a_1) \, dz\Bigr| > |a_1||z_2-z_1| -|z_2-z_1||a_1| = 0,
\end{align*}
so $f(z_1) \neq f(z_2)$, which gives us that $f$ is injective function.
 

FAQ: Is an analytic map with a certain condition injective?

What is an analytic map?

An analytic map is a function that maps points in one complex space to points in another complex space. It is a type of mathematical function used in complex analysis.

What does it mean for an analytic map to be injective?

An analytic map is said to be injective if every element in the domain is mapped to a unique element in the codomain. This means that no two elements in the domain are mapped to the same element in the codomain.

What is the condition for an analytic map to be injective?

The condition for an analytic map to be injective is that the derivative of the map must be non-zero at every point in the domain. This ensures that no two points in the domain are mapped to the same point in the codomain.

Why is it important for an analytic map to be injective?

An injective analytic map ensures that the map is one-to-one, meaning that it preserves distinctness and uniqueness of elements. This is important in various areas of mathematics, such as differential geometry and complex analysis, where the concept of injectivity is crucial in proving theorems.

How can we determine if an analytic map with a certain condition is injective?

To determine if an analytic map with a certain condition is injective, we can take the derivative of the map and evaluate it at every point in the domain. If the derivative is non-zero at every point, then the map is injective. Alternatively, we can also use the inverse function theorem to check for injectivity.
