Holomorphic Functions on Annuli<br />

Definition. Let z0 ∈ C, and let r,R ∈ [0,∞] be such that r < R. Then the annulus<br />

centered at z0 with inner radius r and outer radius R is defined as<br />

Ar,R(z0) := {z ∈ C : r < |z −z0|< R}.<br />

Theorem 9.1 (Cauchy’s Integral Theorem for Annuli). Let z0 ∈ C, let r,ρ,P,R ∈<br />

[0,∞] be such that r < ρ < P < R, and let f : Ar,R(z0) → C be holomorphic. Then<br />

we have � �<br />

f(ζ)dζ = f(ζ)dζ.<br />
