Is there a continous branch in the neighbourhood of 0
Is there a continuous branch in the neighborhood of function $z$ around $0.$ In my opinion no, because as we take a circle and go around it, the argument gains $2pi$ and the value of logarithm changes by $2ipi$. But do I understand it well?
My problem was to determine if there is a continuous branch of a function $f(z)=(z^2-1)^{1/2}$ in infinity, I changed it into $g(z)=1/f(1/z)$ in the 0 neighborhood, which makes it $g(z)=z/(1-z)^{1/2}$, the denominator has continuous branch ofc as I can take the Arg z, but does the numerator have it too?

I think you are confusing $z$ with $log z$. To the second part, yes there is, provided you cut the plane between the branch points at $pm1$. Circling around $infty$ causes the argument to clock up $pi i$ twice, which cancels. As you say, it looks like $z$ at $infty$. Note, $log sqrt{z^2-1}$ does not have a cts branch around $infty$.
Is existing branch of z not equivalent to existing branch of Logz? I thought $z=e^{Logz}$
