116 CHAPTER 17. THE RIEMANN MAPPING THEOREM<br />

We also note that |h(z0)| 2 = |w| and define<br />

g: D → C, z ↦→ − |h′ (z0)|<br />

h ′ (z0) (φh(z0) ◦h)(z).<br />

Then g is injective with g(D) ⊂ D and g(z0) = 0. Since φ ′ a(a) = −1/(1−|a| 2 ),<br />

g ′ (z0) = − |h′ (z0)|<br />

h ′ (z0) ·φ′ h(z0)(h(z0))h ′ (z0)<br />

= |h′ (z0)|<br />

1−|h(z0)| 2<br />

= (1−|w|2 )f ′ (z0)<br />

2 � |w|(1−|w|)<br />

= 1+|w|<br />

2 � |w| ·f′ (z0) > f ′ (z0) > 0,<br />

so that g ∈ F and g ′ (z0) > f ′ (z0). This contradicts (∗).<br />

Theorem 17.4 (Simply Connected Domains). The following are equivalent for an<br />

open and connected set D ⊂ C:<br />

(i) D is simply connected;<br />

(ii) D admits holomorphic logarithms;<br />

(iii) D admits holomorphic roots;<br />

(iv) D admits holomorphic square roots;<br />

(v) D is all <strong>of</strong> C or biholomorphically equivalent to D;<br />

(vi) every holomorphic function f: D → C has an antiderivative;<br />

(vii) �<br />

f(ζ)dζ = 0 for each holomorphic function f : D → C and each closed curve<br />

γ<br />

γ in D;<br />

(viii) for every holomorphic function f: D → C, we have<br />

ν(γ,z)f(z) = 1<br />

�<br />

2πi γ<br />

for each closed curve γ in D and all z ∈ D \{γ};<br />

f(ζ)<br />

ζ −z dζ<br />

(ix) every harmonic function u: D → R has a harmonic conjugate.
