Complex Analysis or Complex Methods | Part IB, 2015

(i) Show that transformations of the complex plane of the form

ζ=az+bcz+d\zeta=\frac{a z+b}{c z+d}

always map circles and lines to circles and lines, where a,b,ca, b, c and dd are complex numbers such that ad−bc≠0a d-b c \neq 0.

(ii) Show that the transformation

ζ=z−ααˉz−1,∣α∣<1\zeta=\frac{z-\alpha}{\bar{\alpha} z-1}, \quad|\alpha|<1

maps the unit disk centered at z=0z=0 onto itself.

(iii) Deduce a conformal transformation that maps the non-concentric annular domain Ω={∣z∣<1,∣z−c∣>c},0<c<1/2\Omega=\{|z|<1,|z-c|>c\}, 0<c<1 / 2, to a concentric annular domain.
