The Riemann Mapping Theorem<br />
Definition. Let D1,D2 ⊂ C be open and connected. We say that D1 and D2 are<br />
biholomorphically equivalent if there is a biholomorphic map from D1 onto D2.<br />
Examples.<br />
1. Let z1,z2 ∈ C, and let r1,r2 > 0. Then Br1(z1) and Br2(z2) are biholomorphically<br />
equivalent because<br />
is biholomorphic.<br />
2. Consider the Cayley transform<br />
Br1(z1) → Br2(z2), z ↦→ r2<br />
(z −z1)+z2<br />
f: H → C, z ↦→<br />
r1<br />
z −i<br />
z +i .<br />
Let x,y ∈ R with y > 0, and let z = x+iy. Then<br />
|z −i| 2 = |x+i(y −1)| 2<br />
= x 2 +y 2 −2y +1<br />
< x 2 +y 2 +2y +1<br />
= |x+i(y +1)| 2<br />
= |z +i| 2<br />
holds, so that |f(z)|< 1. Consequently, we have f(H) ⊂ D. Consider<br />
g: D → C, z ↦→ i 1+z<br />
1−z ,<br />
