Injective function on unit disc












1












$begingroup$


I'm looking for verification of my proof of the following statement:



Let $f colon mathbb{D} to mathbb{C}$ be an injective and holomorphic function on the unit disc which satisfies $f(0) = 0$ and $f'(0) = 1$. Show that
$$inf{vert w vert : w notin f(mathbb{D})} leq 1$$
with equality if and only if $f(z) = z$ for all $z in mathbb{D}$.



The given values of $f$ and $f'$ are hypotheses of the Schwarz lemma, so I tried to use that. If the claimed inequality is false or we have equality, then $f(mathbb{D})$ contains $mathbb{D}$, so we may set $U = f^{-1}(mathbb{D})$. Since $f$ is injective, $f$ has an inverse $g = f^{-1}$ on $U$. This gives us a holomorphic function $g colon mathbb{D} to U$ whose image $U$ lies in $mathbb{D}$. Moreover, since $f(0) = 0$ and $f'(0) = 1$, we have
$$g(0) = 0, g'(0) = frac{1}{f'(g(0))} = 1.$$
Therefore the Schwarz lemma says that $g(z) = alpha z$ with $vert alpha vert = 1$. By analytic continuation, the inverse of $f$ on $f(mathbb{D})$ must also be $alpha z$, thus $f(z) = alpha^{-1}z$, and $f'(z) = alpha^{-1}$, which forces $alpha = 1$. Equality is clearly satisfied for $f(z) = z$.

    What is $w$? Does $w = f(z)$? Cheers!

    $w$ is a complex number not in the image of $f$. I edited the question.

    That infimum is also $ge frac 14$, that is the contents of the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koebe_quarter_theorem.
