Does there exist an analytic function $f$ on a domain containing the unit disk such that $f(z) = exp(i,...

Does there exist an analytic function $f:Drightarrowmathbb C$, where $D$ is a domain containing the unit disk, such that $f(z) = e^{i text{Im} z}$ on the unit circle $|z|=1$?




I'm supposed to rely on the fact that if $f: B_R=left { |z|leq R right }rightarrow mathbb C$ is analytic and even on $(-R,R)$ (so $f(x)=f(-x)$ when $x$ is real), then it is also even on $B_R$, outside the real number line.



It seems that we need to show that $f$ isn't even on $B_1$ but is even on $(-1,1)$, which I cannot show. We only know how $f$ behaves on the unit circle!

Here is an answer which only uses your hint in spirit. Ideally you should think about Greg Martin's hints before reading this, since they are of a similar spirit.



You know that $f(z)$ satisfies the relation $f(z)f(1/z) = 1$ on the unit circle; because $g(z) = f(z)f(1/z) -1$ is a holomorphic function defined in a neighborhood of the circle, and it vanishes on a set with an accumulation point, it vanishes everywhere on that neighborhood. By the same logic $f(z) f(-z) = 1$ on the unit disc as well.



In particular, the second formula implies $f(z)$ is nowhere everywhere along the unit disc. This allows us to use the first formula to give $f$ an extension to the entire complex plane; for $|z| > 1$, set $f(z) = 1/f(1/z)$. Because the RHS is already holomorphic, and this is true in the neighborhood of the unit circle, these patch together to gives us a formula for a globally defined extension of $f$ (which I will denote by the same name).



Because $1/f$ is continuous and nonzero on the unit disc, we see that $1/f$ achieves a maximum, and hence that $f(1/z)$ achieves a maximum on $Bbb C setminus Bbb D$.



Combining these two maximums, we see that $|f|$ is bounded above. Thus $f$ is a bounded holomorphic function, and hence constant, contradicting your formula on the circle.

    This is a nice answer under the additional assumption that $f$ is entire; however, the OP does not assume that. Your proof uses that assumption twice, once when considering the domain of $g(z)$ via $f(1/z)$ and again when invoking facts about bounded functions.

    @GregMartin It does not use this assumption but I think I didn't explain that clearly enough. One sees that on a neighborhood of $S^1$ contained in the domain of $f$, that $g$ is holomorphic in that neighood and vanishes along the circle; so $f(1/z) = 1/f(z)$ in that nbhd. One may naively extend $f$ to the entire complex plane by the rule $f(1/z) = 1/f(z)$ for $|z| > 1$. Because this formula is true near the circle (where $f$ is holomorphic), and both the given def'ns for $f$ on the int. and ext. of the circle are holomorphic, we see that $f$ has a canonical extension to an entire function.

    (It was precisely in obtaining the entire extension that we used that $f$ was holomorphic on the entire disc.) As a side comment, I originally wanted to use the Schwarz reflection principle, since $f(S^1) subset S^1$; that also shows that $f$ has a holomorphic extension to all of $Bbb C$. But then I saw there was a more elementary way to see that in this case.

Sequence of hints:




  • If $f$ and $g$ are two such functions, show they must be equal.

  • If $f(z)$ is such a function, show that $g(z) = overline{f(bar z)}$ (its "reflection in the real axis") is another such function.

  • If $f(z)$ is such a function, show that $f(x)$ is real-valued for all $xin(-1,1)$.

  • If $f(z)$ is such a function, show that $h(z) = overline{f(-bar z)}$ (its "reflection in the imaginary axis") is another such function.

  • If $f(z)$ is such a function, show that $f(x)=f(-x)$ for all $xin(-1,1)$.

        (It was precisely in obtaining the entire extension that we used that $f$ was holomorphic on the entire disc.) As a side comment, I originally wanted to use the Schwarz reflection principle, since $f(S^1) subset S^1$; that also shows that $f$ has a holomorphic extension to all of $Bbb C$. But then I saw there was a more elementary way to see that in this case.

        Wait.. how do we know $f(z)f(1/z)-1$ is holomorphic? We only know it vanishes on the unit circle

      • $begingroup$
        @Theorem a composition of holomorphic functions is holomorphic, a product of holomorphic functions is holomorphic, and a sum of holomorphic with functions is holomorphic. What I should really say is $g$ has domain $text{Dom}(f) setminus {0}$, but this is not really a big deal; the main use of this formula is to show that $f$ is naturally defined on all of $Bbb C$, and for that application you merely need $g$ to be holomorphic in a neighborhood of that circle.

      • $begingroup$
        This is a nice answer under the additional assumption that $f$ is entire; however, the OP does not assume that. Your proof uses that assumption twice, once when considering the domain of $g(z)$ via $f(1/z)$ and again when invoking facts about bounded functions.

      • $begingroup$
        @GregMartin It does not use this assumption but I think I didn't explain that clearly enough. One sees that on a neighborhood of $S^1$ contained in the domain of $f$, that $g$ is holomorphic in that neighood and vanishes along the circle; so $f(1/z) = 1/f(z)$ in that nbhd. One may naively extend $f$ to the entire complex plane by the rule $f(1/z) = 1/f(z)$ for $|z| > 1$. Because this formula is true near the circle (where $f$ is holomorphic), and both the given def'ns for $f$ on the int. and ext. of the circle are holomorphic, we see that $f$ has a canonical extension to an entire function.
