Bilinear transformations in one variable complex analysis.












0












$begingroup$


I am self studying complex analysis 1st time from complex variables and applications from ponnusamy and silverman.
I got struck on this question:

find all bilinear transformations mapping imaginary axis onto unit circle.
I tried assuming a general bilinear transformation w = (az+b )/(cz+d) and equating its modulus to 1. But couldn't get anything.

It's on ch-3 page 84 ex no -19
Please help.

    Do you mean linear fractional transformations? The term "bilinear" is usually used for functions with two arguments that are linear in both of them.

    A fact you might use is that a complex fractional linear transformation is already determined by the images of any three points.

    0x539 - could you please elaborately tell steps to reach the answer. I could not do much despite trying. I knew that it has to do something with three points , but could not apply it. Please help.

    Linear fractional transformations are completely determined by how they act on three inputs (one might think 4 inputs, since there are 4 parameters, but you can divide one of them out without changing the transformation). I suggest that you find the transformation that takes sends $0 to 1, i to i, infty to -1$.
