let f be analytic and not constant on a domain G. show that the area of f(G)is strictly positive
(complex variables)
Since is analytic and not constant on a domain G so obeys open mapping theorem which states that ,
Open mapping theorem : If is a non-constant analyic open map on a domain G then image of a open set is open that is if is open then is open .
Let , since G is a domain so there exist a open set U containing such that .
By open mapping theorem is open and .
Since is open and so there exist a such that the open ball .......(i)
Now , ........(ii)
From (i) and (ii) we get ,
Hence area of is strictly positive .
