Existence of analytic function having different values on $|z|=1$ and $|z|=2$












1












$begingroup$


Does there exist an entire function satisying $f(z)=z$ for $|z|=1$ and $f(z)=z^2$ for $|z|=2$?



I think no, but what argument would do here? Would it be maximum modulus or Liouville theorem? A counterexample should involve power series, I think? Any hints? Thanks beforehand.

          If $f(z)=z$ for $|z|=1$ then $f(z)-z$ is an entire function whose zeros have a limit point. This implies $f(z)=z$ for all $z$. So no such function can exist.

          We have



          $$f'(0)= frac{1}{2 pi i}int_{|z|=1} frac{f(w)}{w^2} dw =frac{1}{2 pi i}int_{|z|=1} frac{w}{w^2} dw =frac{1}{2 pi i}int_{|z|=1} frac{1}{w} dw=1$$



          and



          $$f'(0)= frac{1}{2 pi i}int_{|z|=2} frac{f(w)}{w^2} dw =frac{1}{2 pi i}int_{|z|=2} frac{w^2}{w^2} dw =frac{1}{2 pi i}int_{|z|=2} 1 dw=0.$$



          This contradiction shows that no such function exists.
