Homotopy version of Cauchy’s theorem

Let $\gamma_0$ and $\gamma_1$ be piecewise smooth curves defined on the interval $[a, b]$ with the same end points, i.e., $\gamma_0(a) = \gamma_1(a)$ and $\gamma_0(b) = \gamma_1(b)$. If $U \subset \mathbb{C}$ is an open set, then $\gamma_0$ and $\gamma_1$ are … Continue reading

Jensen’s inequality and Borel-Carathéodory lemma

The Jensen’s inequality bounds the number of zeros of an analytic function in a small disc in terms of size of the function in a slightly larger disc. Although Jensen’s inequality is a simple consequence of Jensen’s formula but we … Continue reading

Little Picard theorem

In this article we prove the little Picard theorem assuming the existence of a nonconstant holomorphic function $\lambda : \mathbb{C} \backslash \{0, 1\} \to \mathbb{C}$ which satisifies $\text{Re} \lambda(z) \leq 0$. In the proof below we will repeatedly use the … Continue reading
