Show that the function $z^n$ for a nonnegative integer $n$ form a normal family in $|z|<1$ ,also in $|z|>1$ but not in the region that contains a point on the unit circle.
I am working on this problem from Complex Analysis by Lars Ahlfors and I need help. This is what I am thinking, And it's a bit vague. Since the family $Z^n, n\geq 1$ converges for all $z$ within the unit circle, Any subsequence of $z^n$ converges. on the other hand, considering $|z|>1$ I don't know how to approach it. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thank you
In your case $z^n$ is uniformly bounded in the unit disc, and in $|z|>1$ every sequence contains a subsequence which tends uniformly to $\infty$. We also consider this latter case normal. See Ahlfors Definition 3:
Can you see what happens when $|z|=1$?
