6 true or false questions in complex analysis

$begingroup$


Let $f:mathbb Ctomathbb C$ be an entire function. Which of the following statements are true and which are false?




  1. If $f(z)inmathbb R$ for all $zinmathbb C$, then $f$ is constant.

  2. If $f(frac{1}{n})=frac{i}{n}$ for all $ninmathbb N$, then $f(z)=iz$ for all $zinmathbb C$.

  3. If $f$ is a non-constant polynomial, then there is a continuously differentiable path $gamma: [0,1]tomathbb C$ such that $int_gamma f(z)dz=2pi i$.

  4. The function $1/f$ has no pole in $0$.

  5. The function $rmapstoint_{|z|=r}f(z)dz$ is constant on $(0,infty)$.

  6. The series $sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{1}{n!}f^{(n)}(1)(z-1)^n$ converges for all $zinmathbb C$




Here is what I got:




  1. True. If $f$ is not constant, then $f(mathbb C)$ must be a domain which conflicts with $f(mathbb C)subseteqmathbb R$.

  2. True. On the set ${1/n|ninmathbb N$} the function $f$ coincides with $g(z)=iz$. Since the set does have an accumulation point in the domain of $f$, the identity theorem yields $f=g$.

  3. I have no idea. How do I start here?

  4. False. $f(z)=z$.

  5. True. Since $f$ is holomorphic, the integral is always $0$.

  6. True. This is just the taylor series of $f$ in $z_0=1$.

          What you did is correct.



          The assertion 3. is true. For each $winmathbb C$, let $gamma_wcolon[0,1]longrightarrowmathbb C$ be the path $gamma_w(t)=tw$. Then the map $wmapstoint_{gamma_w}f(z),mathrm dz$ is just the antiderivative $F$ of $f$ such that $F(0)=0$. But then $F$ is a non constant polynomial function and therefore it is surjective. So, there is so $w$ such that $F(w)=2pi i$.
