It suffices that f is injective as a map from the interior of D to C.
It follows that f' is nonzero in the interior of D, hence all zeros of
f' have absolute value at least 1. But then the product of those zeros
also has absolute value at least 1. Now just express the product of
the roots of f' (including multiplicity) in terms of the coefficients
of f'.

which brings me to a basic question :

how to find the functions that map a certain differentiable closed curve Q biholomorphic onto itself.

and more intresting would be to add the condition that f(z) has only one fixpoint .. or prove that such an f(z) doesnt exist.

e.g. for Q = unit circle f(z) = parabolic moebius transform. ( as achille already noticed )

I assume your Q doesn't intersect itself, ie. a simple closed curve.

By Jordan-Schonflies theorem, Q separate the plane into two regions,
one bounded and other unbounded. Q is the boundary of both regions.
Furthermore, the bounded region Q_int and unbounded region Q_ext are
homeomorphic to the inside and outside of unit circle respectively.

Apply Riemann mapping theorem to Q_int, there is a biholomorphic map
\phi from Q_int onto the open unit disk D. So your problem transform
to

1) find the Riemann mapping \phi
2) find g(z) biholomorphic map D onto D, extend it to the closed
unit disk \bar{D} and check whether it has only one fixed point.
3) verify one can extend \phi to \bar{Q_int} onto \bar{D}, the closed
unit disk.

I have no idea about (1) nor (3). However for (2), we know g(z) are
just Moebius transforms and it is easy to check if g is not the
identity, then g has either no or two fixed point on the unit
circle S^1.

i was aware of that.

indeed (1) and (3) are the problem.

hence my question.

in fact one could replace the unit circle in steps (1)(2)(3) with another simple closed curve ...

( as you very likely know )

but that might not help a lot.

why is it again that moebius is the only mapping unit circle to unit circle biholomorphicly ?

which functions map biholomorphicly in - say - the interior of an ellips ?

what simple closed curves can not have functions mapping biholomorphicly their interior onto themselves and be entire at the same time ?

the method of mapping first to the unit circle ( as achille discribed ) seems to imply ( by riemann mapping theorem ) that the number of freedoms for solutions is around 3.


perhaps old hat for riemann fanatics ...

The key is maximum/minimum modulus principle plus the fact
that non-constant holomorphic functions has isolated zeros.

If g is holomorphic on the open unit disk D with the property
|g(z)|->1 whenever |z|->1, then by maximum modulus principle,
|g| <= 1 on D. If g doesn't have a zero in D, then apply minimum
modulus principle to g ( = maximum modulus principle on 1/g ),
we get |g| >= 1 on D. This implies |g| and hence g is constant on D.

It is easy to see the number of zeros of g is finite. If you
cancel each zero by dividing it with an Moebius transform,
one can use minimum modulus principle again to what's remain
to conclude g is the product of finitely many Mobius transforms.

If you want g to be biholomorphic, then by inspecting the
degree of the map g(z) on circle |z| = 1-eps, we can conclude
the number of Mobius transform factor is 1.

BTW, when you say 'mapping unit circle to unit circle
biholomorphicly',
do you mean
1) open unit disk
OR 2) only the circle (ie. boundary of the unit disk).

If it is (2), the map g one seek is one defined and holomorphic
over a tubular neighbour of the circle and bijective when one
restrict it to the unit circle. One can extend it to a holomorphic
function over D using Cauchy integral formula and with minor
modification, above argument still applies.

No idea as I don't know WANT to construct the Riemann map
between unit circle and ellipse.

No idea again ;-)

Yes. In fact, for any simply connected open set U, the degree of
freedom for Riemann map \phi : U -> D, itself is 3.

It is Henri Poincaré who first proved that \phi is essentially
unique in the sense: if z0 is an element of U and \theta is an
arbitrary angle, then there exists precisely one \phi with

\phi(z0) = 0
AND \phi'(z0) / | \phi'(z0) | = exp(i\theta).
