Lecture 5: Complex Logarithm and Trigonometric Functions
LECTURE 5: COMPLEX LOGARITHM AND TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Let C∗ = C \{0}. Recall that exp : C → C∗ is surjective (onto), that is, given w ∈ C∗ with w = ρ(cos φ + i sin φ), ρ = |w|, φ = Arg w we have ez = w where z = ln ρ + iφ (ln stands for the real log) Since exponential is not injective (one one) it does not make sense to talk about the inverse of this function. However, we also know that exp : H → C∗ is bijective. So, what is the inverse of this function? Well, that is the logarithm. We start with a general definition Definition 1. For z ∈ C∗ we define log z = ln |z| + i argz. Here ln |z| stands for the real logarithm of |z|. Since argz = Argz + 2kπ, k ∈ Z it follows that log z is not well defined as a function (it is multivalued), which is something we find difficult to handle. It is time for another definition. Definition 2. For z ∈ C∗ the principal value of the logarithm is defined as Log z = ln |z| + i Argz. Thus the connection between the two definitions is Log z + 2kπ = log z for some k ∈ Z. Also note that Log : C∗ → H is well defined (now it is single valued). Remark: We have the following observations to make, (1) If z 6= 0 then eLog z = eln |z|+i Argz = z (What about Log (ez)?). (2) Suppose x is a positive real number then Log x = ln x + i Argx = ln x (for positive real numbers we do not get anything new). -
On the Continuability of Multivalued Analytic Functions to an Analytic Subset*
Functional Analysis and Its Applications, Vol. 35, No. 1, pp. 51–59, 2001 On the Continuability of Multivalued Analytic Functions to an Analytic Subset* A. G. Khovanskii UDC 517.9 In the paper it is shown that a germ of a many-valued analytic function can be continued analytically along the branching set at least until the topology of this set is changed. This result is needed to construct the many-dimensional topological version of the Galois theory. The proof heavily uses the Whitney stratification. Introduction In the topological version of Galois theory for functions of one variable (see [1–4]) it is proved that the character of location of the Riemann surface of a function over the complex line can prevent the representability of this function by quadratures. This not only explains why many differential equations cannot be solved by quadratures but also gives the sharpest known results on their nonsolvability. I always thought that there is no many-dimensional topological version of Galois theory of full value. The point is that, to construct such a version in the many-variable case, it would be necessary to have information not only on the continuability of germs of functions outside their branching sets but also along these sets, and it seemed that there is nowhere one can obtain this information from. Only in spring of 1999 did I suddenly understand that germs of functions are sometimes automatically continued along the branching set. Therefore, a many-dimensional topological version of the Galois theory does exist. I am going to publish it in forthcoming papers. -

Exactification of Stirling’s Approximation for the Logarithm of the Gamma Function Victor Kowalenko School of Mathematics and Statistics The University of Melbourne Victoria 3010, Australia. February 16, 2021 Abstract Exactification is the process of obtaining exact values of a function from its complete asymptotic expansion. This work studies the complete form of Stirling’s approximation for the logarithm of the gamma function, which consists of standard leading terms plus a remainder term involving an infinite asymptotic series. To obtain values of the function, the divergent remainder must be regularized. Two regularization techniques are introduced: Borel summation and Mellin-Barnes (MB) regularization. The Borel-summed remainder is found to be composed of an infinite convergent sum of exponential integrals and discontinuous logarithmic terms from crossing Stokes sectors and lines, while the MB-regularized remainders possess one MB integral, with similar logarithmic terms. Because MB integrals are valid over overlapping domains of convergence, two MB-regularized asymptotic forms can often be used to evaluate the logarithm of the gamma function. Although the Borel- summed remainder is truncated, albeit at very large values of the sum, it is found that all the remainders when combined with (1) the truncated asymptotic series, (2) the leading terms of Stirling’s approximation and (3) their logarithmic terms yield identical valuesDRAFT that agree with the very high precision results obtained from mathematical software packages.February 16, -
3 Elementary Functions
3 Elementary Functions We already know a great deal about polynomials and rational functions: these are analytic on their entire domains. We have thought a little about the square-root function and seen some difficulties. The remaining elementary functions are the exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. 3.1 The Exponential and Logarithmic Functions (§30–32, 34) We have already defined the exponential function exp : C ! C : z 7! ez using Euler’s formula ez := ex cos y + iex sin y (∗) and seen that its real and imaginary parts satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equations on C, whence exp C d z = z is entire (analytic on ). Indeed recall that dz e e . We have also seen several of the basic properties of the exponential function, we state these and several others for reference. Lemma 3.1. Throughout let z, w 2 C. 1. ez 6= 0. ez 2. ez+w = ezew and ez−w = ew 3. For all n 2 Z, (ez)n = enz. 4. ez is periodic with period 2pi. Indeed more is true: ez = ew () z − w = 2pin for some n 2 Z Proof. Part 1 follows trivially from (∗). To prove 2, recall the multiple-angle formulae for cosine and sine. Part 3 requires an induction using part 2 with z = w. Part 4 is more interesting: certainly ew+2pin = ew by the periodicity of sine and cosine. Now suppose ez = ew where z = x + iy and w = u + iv. Then, by considering the modulus and argument, ( ex = eu exeiy = eueiv =) y = v + 2pin for some n 2 Z We conclude that x = u and so z − w = i(y − v) = 2pin. -

Complex Numbers and Functions
Complex Numbers and Functions Richard Crew January 20, 2018 This is a brief review of the basic facts of complex numbers, intended for students in my section of MAP 4305/5304. I will discuss basic facts of com- plex arithmetic, limits and derivatives of complex functions, power series and functions like the complex exponential, sine and cosine which can be defined by convergent power series. This is a preliminary version and will be added to later. 1 Complex Numbers 1.1 Arithmetic. A complex number is an expression a + bi where i2 = −1. Here the real number a is the real part of the complex number and bi is the imaginary part. If z is a complex number we write <(z) and =(z) for the real and imaginary parts respectively. Two complex numbers are equal if and only if their real and imaginary parts are equal. In particular a + bi = 0 only when a = b = 0. The set of complex numbers is denoted by C. Complex numbers are added, subtracted and multiplied according to the usual rules of algebra: (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + di) (1.1) (a + bi) − (c + di) = (a − c) + (b − di) (1.2) (a + bi)(c + di) = (ac − bd) + (ad + bc)i (1.3) (note how i2 = −1 has been used in the last equation). Division performed by rationalizing the denominator: a + bi (a + bi)(c − di) (ac − bd) + (bc − ad)i = = (1.4) c + di (c + di)(c − di) c2 + d2 Note that denominator only vanishes if c + di = 0, so that a complex number can be divided by any nonzero complex number. -
Black Holes with Lambert W Function Horizons
Black holes with Lambert W function horizons Moises Bravo Gaete,∗ Sebastian Gomezy and Mokhtar Hassainez ∗Facultad de Ciencias B´asicas,Universidad Cat´olicadel Maule, Casilla 617, Talca, Chile. y Facultad de Ingenier´ıa,Universidad Aut´onomade Chile, 5 poniente 1670, Talca, Chile. zInstituto de Matem´aticay F´ısica,Universidad de Talca, Casilla 747, Talca, Chile. September 17, 2021 Abstract We consider Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant endowed with distinct matter sources. The different models analyzed here share the following two properties: (i) they admit static symmetric solutions with planar base manifold characterized by their mass and some additional Noetherian charges, and (ii) the contribution of these latter in the metric has a slower falloff to zero than the mass term, and this slowness is of logarithmic order. Under these hypothesis, it is shown that, for suitable bounds between the mass and the additional Noetherian charges, the solutions can represent black holes with two horizons whose locations are given in term of the real branches of the Lambert W functions. We present various examples of such black hole solutions with electric, dyonic or axionic charges with AdS and Lifshitz asymptotics. As an illustrative example, we construct a purely AdS magnetic black hole in five dimensions with a matter source given by three different Maxwell invariants. 1 Introduction The AdS/CFT correspondence has been proved to be extremely useful for getting a better understanding of strongly coupled systems by studying classical gravity, and more specifically arXiv:1901.09612v1 [hep-th] 28 Jan 2019 black holes. In particular, the gauge/gravity duality can be a powerful tool for analyzing fi- nite temperature systems in presence of a background magnetic field. -
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. -

The Strange Properties of the Infinite Power Tower Arxiv:1908.05559V1
The strange properties of the infinite power tower An \investigative math" approach for young students Luca Moroni∗ (August 2019) Nevertheless, the fact is that there is nothing as dreamy and poetic, nothing as radical, subversive, and psychedelic, as mathematics. Paul Lockhart { \A Mathematician's Lament" Abstract In this article we investigate some "unexpected" properties of the \Infinite Power Tower 1" function (or \Tetration with infinite height"): . .. xx y = f(x) = xx where the \tower" of exponentiations has an infinite height. Apart from following an initial personal curiosity, the material collected here is also intended as a potential guide for teachers of high-school/undergraduate students interested in planning an activity of \investigative mathematics in the classroom", where the knowledge is gained through the active, creative and cooperative use of diversified mathematical tools (and some ingenuity). The activity should possibly be carried on with a laboratorial style, with no preclusions on the paths chosen and undertaken by the students and with little or no information imparted from the teacher's desk. The teacher should then act just as a guide and a facilitator. The infinite power tower proves to be particularly well suited to this kind of learning activity, as the student will have to face a challenging function defined through a rather uncommon infinite recursive process. They'll then have to find the right strategies to get around the trickiness of this function and achieve some concrete results, without the help of pre-defined procedures. The mathematical requisites to follow this path are: functions, properties of exponentials and logarithms, sequences, limits and derivatives. -
An Example of a Covering Surface with Movable Natural Boundaries
An example of a covering surface with movable natural boundaries Claudi Meneghin November 13, 2018 Abstract We exhibit a covering surface of the punctured complex plane (with no points over 0) whose natural projection mapping fails to be a topo- logical covering, due to the existence of branches with natural bound- ∗ aries, projecting over different slits in C . In [1], A.F.Beardon shows an example of a ’covering surface’ over a region in the unit disc which is not a topological covering (We recall that a ’covering surface’ of a region D ⊂ C is a Riemann surface S admitting a surjective conformal mapping onto D, among which there are the analytical continua- tions of holomorphic germs; a continuous mapping p of a topological space Y onto another one X is a ’topological covering’ provided that each point x ∈ X admits an open neighbourhood U such that the restriction of p to −1 each connected component Vi of p (U) is a homeomorphism of Vi onto U, see [2, 3]). Beardon’s example takes origin by the analytical continuation of a holo- morphic germ, namely a branch of the inverse of the Blaschke product arXiv:math/0408086v3 [math.CV] 11 Jul 2008 ∞ z − a B(z)= n , n 1 − anz Y=1 with suitable hypotheses about the an’s. It is shown that there is a sequence of inverse branches fk of B at 0 such that the radii of convergence of their Taylor developments tend to 0 as k →∞. This of course prevents the natural projection (taking a germ at z0 to the point z0) of the analytical continuation of any branch of B−1 to be a topological covering.
