Value of integral $\int_{\partial B(0,1)} \log|z-w| dA(w)$

27 Views Asked by At

I am looking to determine the value of the integral $$ \int_{\partial K(0,1)} \log|z-w| dA(w) = ? $$ where $dA$ denotes the 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure in $\mathbb{C}$.

What I have done so far:

1) When $|z|>1$ we have $$ \int_{\partial K(0,1)} \log|z-w| dA(w) = 2\pi\log|z| + \int_{\partial K(0,1)} \log\Big|1-w/|z|\Big| dA(w) = 2\pi\log|z| $$ where the last integral is $0$, since the integrand is the real part of a holomorphic branch of the logarithm.

2) I don't see how I should apply the same trick when $|z| \leq 1$, so I am pretty lost here :/

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
