Mobius transform |z|<1 to the right half plane
$begingroup$
Find a Mobius transformation mapping the unit disk {|z| < 1} into the right half-plane and taking z = −i to the origin.
My workings:
$phi(t) = frac{az+b}{cz+d}$
We map -i to the origin (0) by taking the numerator and equating it to 0, knowing b = +i (since we started at -i).
That is:
$az+i=0 implies i = b, a = 1$, which is correct.
However, how do we map $|z|$ to the upper right half plane (i.e. Re(w) = 0)?
Thanks.

Watch that first step: $-ai+b=0implies b=ai$. Let's have $-1to i$, so that $-a+ai=i(-c+d)$. And $0to1$, giving $b=d$. So $c=-a$.
So, we get $f(z)=frac{az+ai}{-az+ai}$ or $boxed{f(z)=frac{z+i}{i-z}}$.
By specifying the values at $3$ points, the Möbius transformation is determined.

Correct answer. Can you elaborate on why you said "let's have -1 -> i? And how did you choose -1?

It is $frac {1-iz} {1+iz}$. Multiply numerator and denominator by $1-ioverline {z}$ to prove that this works.

You can start with $1-iz$ in the numerator so that it vanishes at $-i$. Take denominator as $a+bz$, multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. You then want the real part of the numerator to be positive when $|z| <1$. It should be easy to guess what $a$ and $b$ should be.
