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

@ryszardeggink or consider $hcolon zmapsto frac1{(1/z)+(1/z)^2}$ on $Bbb C-({0}cup [1,infty))$. It has a removable singularity at $0$ and power series $h(z)=z^2+ldots$. But what should the power sereis of $zmapsto frac1{f(1/z)}$ look like?

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.
