Doubt in argument theorem proof

141 Views Asked by At

In the proof of Argument theorem, it is stated the name comes from the fact that the integral of Logarithmic derivative is proportional to change of argument of function. ie.,

$$\int _{ \gamma} \frac{f'(z)}{f(z)}dz =\int _{ \gamma} \frac{d}{dz} \ln(r(z)e^{i\theta})) dz =\int _{ \gamma} \frac{d}{dz} \ln(r(z)) dz + i \int _{ \gamma} \frac{d}{dz} \theta (z) dz = i \int _{ \gamma} \frac{d}{dz} \theta (z) dz $$

My question is how is

$$\int _{ \gamma} \frac{d}{dz} \ln(r(z)) dz = \int _{ \gamma} \frac{1}{r(z)} d(r(z) = 0?$$

Clearly it has poles whenever $f(z)$ is zero inside $\gamma$ and can't be outright equated to $0$ as its not analytic.

In other words I am asking for the proof of

$\int _{ \gamma} \frac{f'(z)}{f(z)}dz = i \int _{ \gamma} \frac{d}{dz} \theta (z) dz $

Linking to this question.
