Must every holomorphic function $f: mathbb{D} to mathbb{D}$ have a fixed point?












3















(a) Prove that if $f: mathbb{D} to mathbb{D}$ is analytic and has two distinct fixed points, then $f$ is identity.



(b) Must every holomorphic function $f: mathbb{D} to mathbb{D}$ have a fixed point?




Notation. $mathbb{D}$ is the open unit disk.



My attempt.



(a) Let $displaystyle psi_{z_{1}} = frac{z_{1} - z}{1 - bar{z_{1}}z}$ and $z_{1},z_{2}$ the fixed points of $f$, and define $g: mathbb{D} to mathbb{D}$ by $g(z) = (psi_{z_{1}} circ f circ psi_{z_{1}}^{-1})(z)$. Since $psi_{z_{1}}$ is holomorphic and an automorphism of $mathbb{D}$ (such that $psi_{z_{1}}^{2} = id$), $g$ maps $mathbb{D}$ into itself. Note that
$$g(0) = (psi_{z_{1}} circ f circ psi_{z_{1}}^{-1})(0) = (psi_{z_{1}} circ f)(psi_{z_{1}}(0)) = psi_{z_{1}}(f(z_{1})) = 0.$$
Since $psi_{z_{1}}$ is bijective, there is $alpha$ such that $psi_{z_{1}}(alpha) = z_{2}$, moreover, $alpha = psi_{z_{1}}^{2}(alpha) = psi_{z_{1}}(z_{2})$. Then,
$$g(alpha) = (psi_{z_{1}} circ f circ psi_{z_{1}}^{-1})(alpha) = (psi_{z_{1}} circ f)(psi_{z_{1}}(alpha)) = psi_{z_{1}}(f(z_{2})) = alpha.$$
Also, if $alpha = 0$, $z_{1} = z_{2}$, a contradiction. By Schwarz lemma, $g(z) = cz$ where $c = e^{itheta}$. But, since $g(alpha) = alpha$, $calpha = alpha$ and so, $c=1$.



(b) I know that, with tha same ideia that I use in (a), if the answer is yes, I can always apply the Schwarz lemma in every holomorphic function from $mathbb{D}$ to $mathbb{D}$. So, I think the answer is no, but I could not find a counterexample. I'm trying to get an example where Schwarz lemma fails.

          The unit disc $Bbb D$ is conformally equivalent to the upper half-plane $Bbb H$.
          That has a holomorphic map $Bbb Hto Bbb H$ without fixed points, for instance
          $zmapsto z+1$. So if $h:Bbb DtoBbb H$ is a holomorphic map, with a holomorphic inverse, then you can take $f(z)=h^{-1}(h(z)+1)$. I'll leave it to you to find
          such an $h$.
