Meaning of $f$ being holomorphic on the neighborhood of the unit disc, and Cauchy Theorem

342 Views Asked by At

What does $f$ is holomorphic on the neighborhood of the unit disc mean? Does it mean it's holomorphic on the disc or both on&inside the disc?

Also, if $f$ is holomorphic on the neighborhood of the unit disc, why is the Cauchy Theorem leads from the first line to the second line?Cauchy Theorem applied on f

It would be great if someone could help me out :) Thanks!

Generally when people say that a function $f$ is holomorphic on a neighborhood of the unit disk, they mean that there is an open set $\Omega$ containing the disk $\{z:|z|\leq 1\}$ such that $f$ is holomorphic on $\Omega$. Often $\Omega$ is assumed to be connected as well.

To pass from the first line to the second in the equations you included, we must show that $$ \int_{|z|=1}\frac{f(z)}{z-\overline{z}_0^{-1}}\;dz=0 $$

Although you didn't specifically say this, my guess is that $0<|z_0|<1$. Then $|\bar{z}_0^{-1}|=\frac{1}{|z_0|}>1$, and it follows that the function $\frac{f(z)}{z-\overline{z}_0^{-1}}$ is holomorphic in a neighborhood of the closed unit disk. Therefore $$ \int_{|z|=1}\frac{f(z)}{z-\overline{z}_0^{-1}}\;dz=0 $$ by Cauchy's theorem.
