  • Show that the complex integral is zero for any closed, piece wise smooth path

We know that if $gamma$ is a curve in the complex plane parameterized by a function $z(t)$ which is a continuously differentiable function from the interval $[a,b]$ into $mathbb{C}$ and $f$ is analytic on an open set containing $tr(gamma)$, then $w(t)=f(z(t))$ is differentiable on $[a,b]$ and $w'(t)=f'(z(t))z'(t)$. Use this result to prove that $int_gamma z^n,dz=0$ for any textit{closed} path $gamma$ and integer $nneq -1$, assuming that $tr gamma$ does not contain the origin if $n<0$.



1st Try: Suppose that $ngeq 0$, then $z^n$ is analytic everywhere. By Goursat's Lemma, the integral is $0$. When $n<-1$, then $z^n$ is analytic everywhere except at the origin. But I am allowed to assume that $0notin trgamma$. So again the integral is $0$.



The problem is that I haven't use the assumption.



Note I am not allowed to use Cauchy's Integral Formula.

    When you say that "[the function] $z^n$ is analytic everywhere except at the origin" and that, since $0$ is not on the path $gamma$, "the integral is $0$", the first part is clear but how you draw the consequence that the integral is $0$ is unclear. Certainly there is no theorem stating that if $gamma$ is a closed path and if $f$ is analytic on a neighborhood of $gamma$ then $oint_gamma f(z)dz=0$.

If $nneq-1$, then $z^n$ has a primitive: $F(z)=dfrac{z^{n+1}}{n+1}$. So,$$int_gamma z^n,mathrm dz=Fbigl(gamma(b)bigr)-Fbigl(gamma(a)bigr)=0,$$since $gamma$ is a loop.
