For the original problem, I guess the interpretation of "bijective"
was intended to be (1) above.

In fact, are there any polynomials f(z) other than

f(z) = c z, where |c| = 1

which are literally bijective (i.e., using interpretation 3) on the
unit disk?

There are no other polynomials which are literally bijective.
The group of biholomorphic maps of the unit disk onto itself
is a subgroup of the Mobius transforms and has elements of
the form:

c ( z - a )/(1 + \bar{a} z ) where |a| < 1 and |c| = 1.

Other than the trivial c z, the others are not polynomials.

That agrees with what I expected.

Thanks.

i was assuming 3 all the time.

does that make proof different ?

now im confused ...

When I first see the question, my first response is to
interpret it as (3). But then I remember the only
biholomorphic functions that map unit disk onto itself
are the Mobius transform, interpretation (3) doesn't
make sense.

The proof is the same, relaxing the constraint simply
allow you ignore irrelevant misleading hints ;-)
