Schwarz Lemma - Statement

Statement

Schwarz Lemma. Let D = {z : |z| < 1} be the open unit disk in the complex plane C centered at the origin and let f : DD be a holomorphic map such that f(0) = 0. Then, |f(z)| ≤ |z| for all z in D and |f′(0)| ≤ 1. Moreover, if |f(z)| = |z| for some non-zero z or |f′(0)| = 1, then f(z) = az for some a in C with |a| = 1.

Note. Some authors replace the condition f : DD with |f(z)| ≤ 1 for all z in D (where f is still holomorphic in D). The two versions can be shown to be equivalent through an application of the maximum modulus principle.

Famous quotes containing the word statement:

    Children should know there are limits to family finances or they will confuse “we can’t afford that” with “they don’t want me to have it.” The first statement is a realistic and objective assessment of a situation, while the other carries an emotional message.
    Jean Ross Peterson (20th century)

    I think, therefore I am is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    Eroticism has its own moral justification because it says that pleasure is enough for me; it is a statement of the individual’s sovereignty.
    Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936)
