Is there a holomorphic function such that $(f(z))^3=z-z^2$

Is there a holomorphic function $f:C-[0,1]$ such that $(f(z))^3=z-z^2$ for all $zin C-[0,1]$



My intuition tells me that not really, for instance $$(z-z^2)^{frac{1}{3}}$$



does not have a unique branch on this set, but I do not know how to formally prove it.

          The function $zto z-z^2$ has a double pole at infinity, which means that your $f$ would have a pole of order $2/3$ there!

            which means that we can write $f=z^{frac{2}{3}}g(z)$ where g is holomorphic and g(infty) is not equal to ininity. which would mean that $frac{f}{g}$ would be holomorphic but it is impossible, since $z^{frac{2}{3}}$ is not holomorphic in infinity?

          The zeroes of $f$ must be the same as those of $z-z^2$, namely $0$ and $1$.



          What is the winding number of $f(z)$ as $z$ describes a small circle around $0$? Since $z-z^2$ winds around $0$ once, you need an integer that gives $1$ when multiplied by $3$. But that is impossible.
