Bounded Analytic Functions on Parabolic Riemann surfaces are constant

53 Views Asked by At

I'm reading the book on Riemann Surfaces by Farkas and Kra (third edition). When proving uniformization theorem for nonhyperbolic simply connected Riemann surfaces, they say that bounded analytic functions on parabolic Riemann surfaces are constant. There is no result saying it explictly. Why is it true?

The OP didn't define parabolic: a Riemann surface with no non-constant negative subharmonic functions. If $f$ is analytic bounded non-constant then $\Re(f)-C$ (with $C>\sup |f|$) is non-constant negative harmonic.
