  • Informal Lecture Notes for Complex Analysis
    Informal lecture notes for complex analysis Robert Neel I'll assume you're familiar with the review of complex numbers and their algebra as contained in Appendix G of Stewart's book, so we'll pick up where that leaves off. 1 Elementary complex functions In one-variable real calculus, we have a collection of basic functions, like poly- nomials, rational functions, the exponential and log functions, and the trig functions, which we understand well and which serve as the building blocks for more general functions. The same is true in one complex variable; in fact, the real functions we just listed can be extended to complex functions. 1.1 Polynomials and rational functions We start with polynomials and rational functions. We know how to multiply and add complex numbers, and thus we understand polynomial functions. To be specific, a degree n polynomial, for some non-negative integer n, is a function of the form n n−1 f(z) = cnz + cn−1z + ··· + c1z + c0; 3 where the ci are complex numbers with cn 6= 0. For example, f(z) = 2z + (1 − i)z + 2i is a degree three (complex) polynomial. Polynomials are clearly defined on all of C. A rational function is the quotient of two polynomials, and it is defined everywhere where the denominator is non-zero. z2+1 Example: The function f(z) = z2−1 is a rational function. The denomina- tor will be zero precisely when z2 = 1. We know that every non-zero complex number has n distinct nth roots, and thus there will be two points at which the denominator is zero.

  • MATH 305 Complex Analysis, Spring 2016 Using Residues to Evaluate Improper Integrals Worksheet for Sections 78 and 79
    MATH 305 Complex Analysis, Spring 2016 Using Residues to Evaluate Improper Integrals Worksheet for Sections 78 and 79 One of the interesting applications of Cauchy's Residue Theorem is to find exact values of real improper integrals. The idea is to integrate a complex rational function around a closed contour C that can be arbitrarily large. As the size of the contour becomes infinite, the piece in the complex plane (typically an arc of a circle) contributes 0 to the integral, while the part remaining covers the entire real axis (e.g., an improper integral from −∞ to 1). An Example Let us use residues to derive the formula p Z 1 x2 2 π 4 dx = : (1) 0 x + 1 4 Note the somewhat surprising appearance of π for the value of this integral. z2 First, let f(z) = and let C = L + C be the contour that consists of the line segment L z4 + 1 R R R on the real axis from −R to R, followed by the semi-circle CR of radius R traversed CCW (see figure below). Note that C is a positively oriented, simple, closed contour. We will assume that R > 1. Next, notice that f(z) has two singular points (simple poles) inside C. Call them z0 and z1, as shown in the figure. By Cauchy's Residue Theorem. we have I f(z) dz = 2πi Res f(z) + Res f(z) C z=z0 z=z1 On the other hand, we can parametrize the line segment LR by z = x; −R ≤ x ≤ R, so that I Z R x2 Z z2 f(z) dz = 4 dx + 4 dz; C −R x + 1 CR z + 1 since C = LR + CR.

    SOME SIMPLIFICATIONS IN THE PRESENTATIONS OF COMPLEX POWER SERIES AND UNORDERED SUMS OSWALDO RIO BRANCO DE OLIVEIRA Abstract. This text provides very easy and short proofs of some basic prop- erties of complex power series (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, rearrangement, composition, differentiation, uniqueness, Taylor’s series, Prin- ciple of Identity, Principle of Isolated Zeros, and Binomial Series). This is done by simplifying the usual presentation of unordered sums of a (countable) family of complex numbers. All the proofs avoid formal power series, double series, iterated series, partial series, asymptotic arguments, complex integra- tion theory, and uniform continuity. The use of function continuity as well as epsilons and deltas is kept to a mininum.

    A NOTE ON THE SCHWARZ LEMMA FOR HARMONIC FUNCTIONS MAREK SVETLIK Abstract. In this note we consider some generalizations of the Schwarz lemma for harmonic functions on the unit disk, whereby values of such functions and the norms of their differentials at the point z = 0 are given. 1. Introduction 1.1. A summary of some results. In this paper we consider some generalizations of the Schwarz lemma for harmonic functions from the unit disk U = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1} to the interval (−1, 1) (or to itself). First, we cite a theorem which is known as the Schwarz lemma for harmonic functions and is considered as a classical result. Theorem 1 ([10],[9, p.77]). Let f : U → U be a harmonic function such that f(0) = 0. Then 4 |f(z)| 6 arctan |z|, for all z ∈ U, π and this inequality is sharp for each point z ∈ U. In 1977, H. W. Hethcote [11] improved this result by removing the assumption f(0) = 0 and proved the following theorem. Theorem 2 ([11, Theorem 1] and [26, Theorem 3.6.1]). Let f : U → U be a harmonic function. Then 1 − |z|2 4 f(z) − f(0) 6 arctan |z|, for all z ∈ U. 1+ |z|2 π As it was written in [23], it seems that researchers have had some difficulties to arXiv:1911.03589v1 [math.CV] 9 Nov 2019 handle the case f(0) 6= 0, where f is harmonic mapping from U to itself. Before explaining the essence of these difficulties, it is necessary to recall one mapping and some of its properties.

The Complex Logarithm log z Let us define w = log z as the inverse of z = ew. NOTE Your textbook (Zill & Shanahan) uses ln instead of log and Ln instead of Log . We know that exp[ln |z|+i(θ+2nπ)] = z, where n ∈ Z, from our knowledge of the exponential function. So we can define log z =ln|z| + i arg z =ln|z| + i Arg z +2nπi =lnr + iθ where r = |z| as usual, and θ is the argument of z If we only use the principal value of the argument, then we define the principal value of log z as Log z, where Log z =ln|z| + i Arg z = Log |z| + i Arg z Exercise Compute Log (−2) and log(−2), Log (2i), and log(2i), Log (−4) and log(−4) Logarithmic Identities z = elog z but log ez = z +2kπi (Is this a surprise?) log(z1z2) = log z1 + log z2 z1 log = log z1 − log z2 z2 However these do not neccessarily apply to the principal branch of the logarithm, written as Log z. (i.e. is Log (2) + Log (−2) = Log (−4)? 1 Complex Analysis Worksheet 14 Math 312 Spring 2014 Log z: the Principal Branch of log z Log z is a single-valued function and is analytic in the domain D∗ consisting of all points of the complex plane except for those lying on the nonpositive real axis, where d 1 Log z = dz z Sketch the set D∗ and convince yourself that it is an open connected set.

Foreword Beginning in the spring of 2000, a series of four one-semester courses were taught at Princeton University whose purpose was to present, in an integrated manner, the core areas of analysis. The objective was to make plain the organic unity that exists between the various parts of the subject, and to illustrate the wide applicability of ideas of analysis to other fields of mathematics and science. The present series of books is an elaboration of the lectures that were given. While there are a number of excellent texts dealing with individual parts of what we cover, our exposition aims at a different goal: pre- senting the various sub-areas of analysis not as separate disciplines, but rather as highly interconnected.

DissertationAdvisor:ProfessorMarkKisin YunqingTang Algebraicity criteria and their applications Abstract We use generalizations of the Borel–Dwork criterion to prove variants of the Grothedieck–Katz p-curvature conjecture and the conjecture of Ogus for some classes of abelian varieties over number fields. The Grothendieck–Katz p-curvature conjecture predicts that an arithmetic differential equation whose reduction modulo p has vanishing p-curvatures for all but finitely many primes p,hasfinite monodromy. It is known that it suffices to prove the conjecture for differential equations on P1 − 0, 1, . We prove a variant of this conjecture for P1 0, 1, , which asserts that if the equation { ∞} −{ ∞} satisfies a certain convergence condition for all p, then its monodromy is trivial.

  • 4 Complex Analysis
    4 Complex Analysis “He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one. Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics; that is mixed mathematics. The fact which interests us most is the life of the naturalist. The purest science is still biographical.” Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862) We have seen that we can seek the frequency content of a signal f (t) defined on an interval [0, T] by looking for the the Fourier coefficients in the Fourier series expansion In this chapter we introduce complex numbers and complex functions.

  • Chapter 2 Complex Analysis
    Chapter 2 Complex Analysis In this part of the course we will study some basic complex analysis. This is an extremely useful and beautiful part of mathematics and forms the basis of many techniques employed in many branches of mathematics and physics. We will extend the notions of derivatives and integrals, familiar from calculus, to the case of complex functions of a complex variable. In so doing we will come across analytic functions, which form the centerpiece of this part of the course. In fact, to a large extent complex analysis is the study of analytic functions. After a brief review of complex numbers as points in the complex plane, we will ¯rst discuss analyticity and give plenty of examples of analytic functions. We will then discuss complex integration, culminating with the generalised Cauchy Integral Formula, and some of its applications. We then go on to discuss the power series representations of analytic functions and the residue calculus, which will allow us to compute many real integrals and in¯nite sums very easily via complex integration. 2.1 Analytic functions In this section we will study complex functions of a complex variable. We will see that di®erentiability of such a function is a non-trivial property, giving rise to the concept of an analytic function. We will then study many examples of analytic functions. In fact, the construction of analytic functions will form a basic leitmotif for this part of the course. 2.1.1 The complex plane We already discussed complex numbers briefly in Section 1.3.5.

So let us choose z + 1/z cos q = . 2 Then our integral becomes I dz I = −2i . C 2za + b + bz2 So we have to find the zeros of the polynomial P(z) = bz2 + 2za + b that lie inside the unit circle. The two zeros are p a a2 − b2 z± = − ± . b b a 2 2 Note that since a > b, we have − b < −1 as well as a − b > 0. Thus we see that z− < −1 and hence outside the unit circle. On the other hand p ! p ! a a2 − b2 a a2 − b2 z+z− = − + − − b b b b = 1. This implies jz+j < 1.
