B1.11
(a) Define the notions of (abstract) Riemann surface, holomorphic map, and biholomorphic map between Riemann surfaces.
(b) Prove the following theorem on the local form of a holomorphic map.
For a holomorphic map between Riemann surfaces, which is not constant near a point , there exist neighbourhoods of in and of in , together with biholomorphic identifications , such that , for all .
(c) Prove further that a non-constant holomorphic map between compact, connected Riemann surfaces is surjective.
(d) Deduce from (c) the fundamental theorem of algebra.
