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:

    The new statement will comprise the skepticisms, as well as the faiths of society, and out of unbeliefs a creed shall be formed. For, skepticisms are not gratuitous or lawless, but are limitations of the affirmative statement, and the new philosophy must take them in, and make affirmations outside of them, just as much as must include the oldest beliefs.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest narrative. Afterwards, it may warm itself until it exhales symbols of every kind and color, speaks only through the most poetic forms; but first and last, it must still be at bottom a biblical statement of fact.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.
    David Jenkins (b. 1925)
