4.II.15C

Complex Methods | Part IB, 2008

Let HH be the domain C−{x+iy:x≤0,y=0}\mathbb{C}-\{x+i y: x \leq 0, y=0\} (i.e., C\mathbb{C} cut along the negative xx-axis). Show, by a suitable choice of branch, that the mapping

z↦w=−ilog⁡zz \mapsto w=-i \log z

maps HH onto the strip S={z=x+iy,−π<x<π}S=\{z=x+i y,-\pi<x<\pi\}.

How would a different choice of branch change the result?

Let GG be the domain {z∈C:∣z∣<1,∣z+i∣>2}\{z \in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1,|z+i|>\sqrt{2}\}. Find an analytic transformation that maps GG to SS, where SS is the strip defined above.
