Cauchy Integral Formula Innite Differentiability Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Maximum Modulus Principle
Introduction
1. One of the most important consequences of the Cauchy-Goursat
Integral Theorem is that the value of an analytic function at a
point can be obtained from the values of the analytic function on
a contour surrounding the point (as long as the function is
dened on a neighborhood of the contour and its inside).
2. The result itself is known as Cauchys Integral Theorem.
3. Among its consequences is, for example, the Fundamental
Theorem of Algebra, which says that every nonconstant complex
polynomial has at least one complex zero.

4. Once we have introduced series, another consequence is the fact
that every analytic function is locally equal to a power series.
This very powerful result is a cornerstone of complex analysis.
5. In this presentation we will at least be able to prove that analytic
functions have derivatives of any order.
6. ... and the above are only highlights of the consequences of

Corollary.
Let f be an analytic function on an open domain. Then all
derivatives of f are analytic on this domain, too. Moreover, the
component functions (the real and imaginary parts) have continuous
partial derivatives of all orders throughout the domain.
Proof. By the preceding result, we see that f has derivatives of all
orders. That means all derivatives are differentiable and thus all
derivatives are analytic on the domain. Therefore real and imaginary
part have (by repeated application of the Cauchy-Riemann equations)
continuous partial derivatives of all orders throughout the domain.

z
p(z) =.
Thus
1
p
is bounded outside a circle C(R, 0) for sufciently large R.
But the only way
1
p
can be unbounded inside C(R, 0) is for the
denominator p(z) to go to zero somewhere, which was excluded by
hypothesis. Thus
1
p
is bounded on C.
Now by Liouvilles Theorem we infer that
1
p
is constant. Hence p is

Theorem. Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Every nonconstant
complex polynomial has at least one complex zero.
Proof. Let p be a complex polynomial without zeros. Then
1
p
is
analytic in the complex plane. We claim that
1
p
is bounded on C. To
see this claim, rst note that lim
z
1
p(z)
= 0, because lim
z
p(z) =.
Thus
1
p
is bounded outside a circle C(R, 0) for sufciently large R.
But the only way
1
p
can be unbounded inside C(R, 0) is for the
denominator p(z) to go to zero somewhere, which was excluded by

1
p
is bounded on C.

Maximum Modulus Principle. Let f be analytic and not
constant on an open domain. Then f does not assume a maximum
value on the domain. That is, there is no z
0
in the domain so that
|f (z)| |f (z
0
)| for all z in the domain.
Proof. Suppose for a contradiction that such a z
0
does exist. By the
preceding lemma, f would be constant on a disk around z
0
. Moreover,
we could choose the radius of the disk arbitrarily large, as long as it
stays inside the domain. Now let z
1
be in the domain. Then there is an
arc C from z
0

1
and the arc has a positive (minimum) distance
from the boundary of the domain. Now there is a disk of maximum
radius around z
0
on which f is equal to f (z

is in this disk and closest to z

(on the arc C) has the same properties
as z
0
. Continue with a disk of maximum radius around this new point.

is in this disk and closest to z

Cauchy Integral Formula Innite Differentiability Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Maximum Modulus Principle
Theorem. Maximum Modulus Principle. Let f be analytic and not
constant on an open domain. Then f does not assume a maximum
value on the domain. That is, there is no z
0
in the domain so that
|f (z)| |f (z
0
)| for all z in the domain.
Proof. Suppose for a contradiction that such a z
0
does exist. By the
preceding lemma, f would be constant on a disk around z
0
. Moreover,
we could choose the radius of the disk arbitrarily large, as long as it
stays inside the domain. Now let z
1
be in the domain. Then there is an
arc C from z
0
to z
1
and the arc has a positive (minimum) distance
from the boundary of the domain. Now there is a disk of maximum
radius around z
0
on which f is equal to f (z
0
).
Thus the point on C that
is in this disk and closest to z
1
(on the arc C) has the same properties
as z
0
. Continue with a disk of maximum radius around this new point.
