Schwarz Reflection Principle for function complex on the real line

431 Views Asked by At

The Schwarz reflection principle is usually proved for function real on the real (or a subset of) line. I wonder if the same principle/theorem works for general analytic functions on the real line?

So I guess my question is: does the SRP hold for a function analytic in the upper half plane with a branch cut along the positive real line, but with the condition that this function can take on complex values on its branch cut?

Thanks for any help.
