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 : D → D 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 : D → D 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:
“It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“I think, therefore I am is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
