Boundedness of entire functions

60 Views Asked by At

Let $f$ be entire such that $\forall |z|\geq1$, $|f(z)|\leq e^{-|z|}$. Then how do we prove that $f$ is constant?

Can we map the complement of unit disk conformally onto the complex plane or the unit disk, by virtue of which we may then invoke Liouville's Theorem? Any ideas. Thanks beforehand

For $|z| \geq 1$ we have $|f(z)|\leq e^{-|z|} \leq 3 $.

Also, for $|z| \leq 1$, $|f|$ is bounded by a constant $C$, since the unit disc is compact (and $f$ is continuous).

So $|f(z)|\leq \max \{3, C \}$ on all of $\mathbb{C}$. Now Liouville's Theorem does the rest.
