Preface

Real analysis and complex analysis are fundamental in modern mathemat足 ical education at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels. The material covered in courses on those subjects has varied over the years. The tendency has been toward periodic revisions reflecting a changing con足 sensus in the mathematical community. The aim of this book is to present a modern approach to the subjects as they are currently viewed. The reader is assumed to be familiar with such terms as continuity ,

pow er s eri es , mann int egral ,

to provide, in the union of the text proper, the SYMBOL LIST, and the GLOSSARY/INDEX, complete definitions of all mathematical concepts introduced. The following notations obtain for assertions in formal logic: {A} :::;.. {B} for A implies B {A} <* {B} for A iff B A /\ B : for A and B A V B for A or B.

Among the novel and unique features of the text are the following. In Chapter 1. a) Topology discussed three ways: via open sets, via nets, and via filters. b) Two proofs of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem. c) Uniform spaces. In Chapter 2. a) Integration viewed as a Daniell functional. b) A detailed exploration of the connection between measure as de足 rived from a Daniell functional and classical Lebesgue-Caratheo足 dory measure. c) The Riesz Representation Theorem as a consequence of Daniell's approach. v

REAL ANALYSIS

Fundamentals

1.1. Introduction

The text is addressed to readers with a standard background in under graduate algebra, analysis, and elementary topology. Hence, when refer ence is made to concepts such as groups, maps, posets, topological spaces, etc., there is an underlying assumption that the reader is familiar with them. Nevertheless, all terms and notations essential for the understand ing of the material are defined or explained in the Chapters, the GLOS SARY/INDEX, or the SYMBOL LIST. Real analysis deals with the study of functions defined on a set X and taking values, for some n in N, in the set ffi.n of n-tuples of real numbers or occasionally in the set Cn of n-tuples of complex numbers. On the other hand, complex analysis is confined to the study of locally holomorphic functions, i.e., for some nonempty connected open subset, i.e., region, Q of C, functions f in Cn and differentiable throughout Q. Beginning with a system, e.g., that of Zermelo-Fraenkel, (ZF) [Me] , of axioms for set theory, one can construct in turn the system N �f {I, 2, . . . } of natural numbers, the ring Z of integers, the field Q of rational numb ers, and finally the field ffi. of real numbers [La] . The result is a field endowed with an order < (a transitive relation such that for any two (different) elements x and y, precisely one of x < y and y < x is true); ffi. is complete with respect to < , i.e.,for every subset bounded above there is a unique supremum (least upper bound) . Since any two complete ordered fields are field- and order-isomorphic [0] , one may proceed directly as follows. 1.1.1 DEFINITION. T HE SET ffi. IS A COMPLETE ORDERED FIELD. The multiplicative identity 1 of ffi. gives rise to 1, 1 + 1, . . . , i.e., to the

set N of natural numbers. The ring Z of integers is the set of R-equivalence classes of ffl : { (m, n)R ( m' , n' ) ) {} {m + n' = m ' + n} .

The field Q of rational numbers is the set of all S-equivalence classes of Z x (Z \ {O}): {(p, q) S (p', q')} {} {pq' = p'q} . 3

(The previously introduced use of Q-to denote a region-causes no difficulty since the two contexts-ordinal numbers and regions-do not occur together in the remainder of the book.) When n is a cardinal number the phrase-n objects-means there is a set S consisting of pairwise different objects and # ( S) = n. Thus, the phrase- two points x and y-implies x i- y. On the other hand, the phrase- the points x and y-carries no such implication: both x = y and x i- y are admissible.

For a topological space X, the set F(X) of complements of elements of O(X) is governed by: a' ) (/) E F(X) and X E F(X) ; b' ) F(X) is closed with respect to the formation of arbitrary intersections and finite unions. When T and T' are topologies for X and T C T', T' is stronger than T while T is weaker than T'. 1.2.3 Example. For any set X there are: a) the strongest or discrete topology !fj(X) consisting of all subsets of X ; b) the weakest or trivial topology consisting only of (/) and X. 1.2.4 Example. For JR., the customary topology consists of all (arbitrary) unions of open intervals. Unless the contrary is stated, JR. is regarded as endowed with its customary topology.

On the other hand, the Sorgenfrey topology T s for JR. consists of all (arbitrary) unions of left-closed intervals, i.e., unions of all sets of the form

A metric space is a set X paired with a map

When x E X and r � 0, the open (closed) ball B(x, rt (B(x, r)) centered at x and of radius r is { y : d(x, y) < r } y : d(x, y) ::; r }) . The metric d induces a topology T for which a base is the set of all open balls and a base of neighborhoods at x is the set of all open balls centered at x. Furthermore, (X, T) is a Hausdorff space and T is a Hausdorff topology, i.e., if x and y are two elements of X, there is a neighborhood N(x) and a neighborhood N(y) such that N(x) n N(y) = 0.

Subsets A and B of X are separated iff (An B) U (An B) = 0. The space X is connected iff X is not the union of a pair of separated and nonempty sets, i.e., iff X contains no nonempty proper subset that is both open and closed, i.e., iff X is not the union of two nonempty and disjoint open subsets, i.e., iff X is not the union of two nonempty and disjoint closed sets.

1.4. Homotopy, Simplices, Fixed Points

The results in the current Section are widely applicable in many parts of mathematics. The main result is Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem. The machinery that leads to a proof is important in and of itself. • •

•

Homotopy plays a central role in Section 5.5 where the relation of holomorphy and homotopy is explored. Simplices or rectangular versions of them occur in Section 4.6 in the treatment of differentiation, in Section 5.3 where the fundamental theorems and formul& of Cauchy are discussed, and in Section 7.1 to provide a direct approach to Runge's Theorem. In Section 4.7, Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem appears to be essen tial in the derivation of the formula for change of variables in multi dimensional integration. More generally, Brouwer's Fixed Point The orem is central for many of the developments in general and algebraic topology, e.g., dimension theory, antipodal point theory, etc. [HW,

1.4.15 Exercise. If E > 0, sn admits a triangulation T such that the diameter of each simplex of T does not exceed E. (The triangulation T is of mesh E.) If F is a homotopy in sn of id to c and T is a triangulation of sn , to each s and each vertex x of T there corresponds a vector F (x, s) �f Xs of sn . Because sn x [0, 1 ] is compact, F is uniformly continuous (v. Section 1 .6). Hence, if the mesh of T is small, and a �f (xo, . . . , xn ) is a spherical n + I-simplex in T, for all s in [0, 1 ] ' the diameter of the (possibly degenerate) simplex aF(.,s) �f (F (xo, s) , ... , F ( xn , s)) is also small. of [ 1 .4.16 Note. For fixed s , the set TF(.,s) �f {aF("S)} aET spherical simplices does not necessarily constitute a triangulation of sn . The union of the constituent spherical simplices need not cover sn ; the intersection of two or more of them can have a nonempty interior relative to S n-they can overlap.]

When x E Sn and x is not on the boundary of any aFt-,s), the cardinal ity of the set of spherical n-simplices aF(.,s) to which x belongs is denoted N (x, F (·, s),

T).

b) When x remains fixed and traverses [0, 1 ] ' the number N (x, F (·, s ) , T) remains constant. c) Where N (·, F (·, 0), T) is defined, N (·, F (·, 0), T) = 1. [Hint: The function N (·, F (·, ) T) is continuous and N+ -valued. ] s

1.4.18 Exercise. If T is a triangulation of sn and F is any map of the vertices of T into TF in the manner described above (F is a vertex map), there is a vertex map Ff such that: a) for TF', each spherical n-simplex is determined by linearly independent vectors ; b) if x is on no boundary found in TF, x is on no boundary found in TF' and N (x, F, T) = N (x, Ff, T). [Hint: A hyperplane in ffi.n + l is nowhere dense. ]

1.4.19 Exercise. If neither x nor y is on any boundary found in TF and the vectors determining each spherical n-simplex of TF are linearly independent, there is a path connecting x and y on sn , meeting each n - I-face of TF at most finitely often. If k > 1, meets no n - k-face. [Hint: The union of the spherical n-simplices determined by TF is connected. The hypothesis of linear independence implies that an escape from one spherical n-simplex to another can always be managed through an n - I-face. There are only finitely many spherical n-simplices in TF.] 1f

1.4.20 Exercise. At each crossing of from one spherical n-simplex to another, the number N( · , F, T) changes by ±2 or o . [Hint: If the adjoining n-simplices overlap, crossing through their common n - I-face involves either entering or leaving both. If the adjoining n-simplices do not overlap, the number N( · , F, T) does not change. ] 1.4.21 Exercise. For a given triangulation T and a vertex map F such that the spherical n-simplices of T F are determined by linearly independent vectors, the number N(x, F, T) is, modulo 2, independent of x. In sum, the vertex map F and the triangulation T determine a number N (F, T) such that for all x in sn ,

N(x, F, T)

N(F, T)

(mod 2).

Since, modulo 2, N( · , F( . , 0), T) = 1 and N( · , F( · , 1 ) , T) = 0, the homotopy F does not exist: id and c are not homotopic. [ 1.4.22 Remark. When J E C (sn , sn ) and T is a triangulation of sn , J confined to the vertices of T is a vertex map Ff. The number N (Ff, T) (mod 2) is the degree modulo 2 of the pair {J, T}. In fact, N (Ff , T) does not depend on T and is an intrinsic property of the pair {J, sn }. If orientation of simplices is taken into account, a more general Brouwer degree (taking values in Z) of the map J can be defined. The Brouwer degree, which may be viewed as counting the number (positive or negative) of times J wraps sn about itself, is a fun damental and important topological invariant of the pair {J, sn }. For example, if n E Z, the map n : S 1 3 (cos B, sin B)

wraps S1 about itself n times. Among other applications of the Brouwer degree is a proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (FTA) [D u , D uG, Sp] . ]

If X and Y are homeomorphic and each f in C ( X, X) leaves some in X fixed, each g in C ( Y, Y) leaves some in Y fixed. x

The fixed point property is a topological invariant An important aspect of the development above is that for the purpose in hand, discussions of continuous maps may be reduced to discussions of maps of finite sets of points, e.g., the vertices of the triangulations T. A significant block of topology is devoted to a finitistic approach-simplicial approximation. In this direction, the work, e.g., of Alexander, tech, Eilen berg, Hurewicz, Lefschetz, Massey, Mayer, Spanier, Steenrod, and Vietoris,

Section 1.4. Homotopy, Simplices, Fixed Points

gave rise to modern algebraic topology [Bro , Du, DuG, Sp] ; v. also [F, The].

In the discussion below, a similar finitistic analysis provides an alter native derivation of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem. 1.4.29 LEMMA. ( Sperner ) IF an cle=f (xo, ..., Xn) IS AN n-SIMPLEX AND

[ 1.4.30 Note. Sperner's Lemma is purely combinatorial. No topological or algebraic properties, e.g., continuity, linearity, are assumed for w.]

PROOF. When n = 0 the conclusion is automatic since w = id . If the re sult obtains when n = m 1, a relabeling of the vertices permits the as sumption that w [b (am)] = Xm. Furthermore, for w confined to the sim plex am -I �f (xo, ..., xm - d , Sperner's Lemma obtains. Hence there is an (m - I ) -simplex Tm -I �f (Yo,...,Ym- d contained in a:n I and such that , I. However Tm is the face of some {w (Yk)} :'=-OI {Xd:� m-simplex Tm -I in a:". The vertices of Tm are the vertices of Tm - I together with b (am). Since w [b (am)] = Xm , W maps the vertices of Tm onto the vertices of am. -

Correspondingly, Wi (X) is assumed to be the same convex combination of the wi-images of those vertices. In each instance, T2 is a Sperner simplex, i.e., a simplex behaving as stated in Sperner's Lemma. Below the description of each map, a corresponding Sperner simplex T2 is indicated by its vertices. [ 1.4.34 Note. As the calculations for the two maps W I and W2 reveal, the respective associated Sperner simplices are different. However, for each map, further calculations show that each T2 is the only Sperner simplex: all the remaining five simplices fail to satisfy the defining conditions for a Sperner simplex. In general, the Tn in Sperner's Lemma is unique. The proof of uniqueness is omitted since the uniqueness of Tn is not essential for the work that follows. ] The penultimate step in the PROOF of Brouwer's Fixed Point The orem is the next consequence of Sperner's Lemma. Both the statement and PROOF of 1.4.35 display essential links between the combinatorics in Sperner's Lemma and the underlying topological structure of the con text. The combinatorial aspects may be termed finitistic-various technical counting procedures are involved-but no appeal is made to continuity or related topological notions. The topological arguments deal with the met ric properties of covers of a simplex. The essential fact proved in 1.4.35 is the following: If a cover consisting of closed sets is sufficiently redun dant, the intersection of all elements of the cover is non empty.

The statement above is a rather elaborate extension of the pigeon-hole principle: If n objects are placed in fewer than n pigeon-holes, at least one pigeon-hole contains two objects. The argument relies on the metric properties of coverings.

When X is a topological space, a filter F converges to x in X iff every N(x) contains an element of F: F invades every N(x). Since N(x) is itself a filter, F converges to x iff F refines N(x). When F converges to x, x is the limit of :F. A filter F � {F} in !fj( X) is a diset with respect to the partial order induced by reversed inclusion among the elements of F: F' >- F iff F' c F.

In the nonempty set B>. n U there is an n (N) and A' >- A. The set A' of all such N is cofinal in A and the cofinal net n I A' converges to x.

PROOF. Although the PROOF of 1.6.8 applies directly, the following proof uses a diagonalization technique of independent interest. For each positive r in Q, U B (x , rt = X and since X is compact, xEX there are finitely many xi (r) , 1 � i � I(r) , such that

Hence {xi (r)} o< r E\Ql, l � i� I ( r ) is a countable dense subset D �f {Pn }nEN of X. Since { In }nEN is uniformly bounded, there is a convergent subsequence

etc. The diagonal sequence

converges at each point of D. The equicontinuity of {In } nEN implies that if x E X, for a suitable Pk , the first and third terms in the right member of

The crucial added assumption about I is:

Various forms of abstract integration are special cases of the general context provided. The associated concepts and theories of measure and measura bility (v. Section 2.2) are derivable as well. The motivation for what follows is the improper Riemann integral. For example, when 0 < a and

They also establish that Daniell's approach and Lebesgue's approach to integration (v. 2.2.50) are logically equivalent.

On the other hand, the elegant presentations of integration on locally compact groups [Loo, Nai, We2] and the Riesz Representation Theorem (2.3.2 below) are more readily un derstood from the perspective of Daniell's theory.

2.2.60 Exercise. For the Dirac functional rSa in 2.1.21, what are D, D, and the corresponding measure? 2.3. The Riesz Representation Theorem

An important consequence of the preceding development is the following theorem of F. Riesz. The result applies, when X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, to nonnegative linear functionals defined on Coo (X, JR.) , the set of continuous functions f such that supp (I) is compact. In Chapter 4 the result is extended for continuous C-valued linear functionals defined on Coo(X, C) . For a locally compact Hausdorff space X, the class of Baire sets S b ( X ) is the intersection of all a-algebras contained in !fj(X) and including, for each f in Coo(X, JR.) and each a in JR., the set Edf, a). Hence if 0 denotes any one of � , > , 2: and a E JR., then b (X) contains Eo (I, a). However,

2.3.1 Example. If #(X) > No, O(X) �f !fj(X) (the topology of X is the discrete topology ) , and X* �f Xl.,J {y} is the one-point compactification of X ( cf. 1. 7.28 ) , each neighborhood of y is closed ( and, by definition, open) . Each finite subset of X is a compact Gli , whereas the set {y} is compact but is not a Gli . An infinite subset A of X is not compact, since its elements regarded as sets constitute an open cover V of A, and no finite sub cover of V exists. Thus the a-algebra generated by the compact Glis of X * is the a-algebra (X) generated ( in X * ) by the finite subsets of X. The construction given in 2.2.40 for implies, in the current instance, that {y} tic (X) . Thus (X* ) (X* ) : the sets and need not be the same.

Functional Analysis

3.1. Introduction

For a set X, there are various important subsets of CX , e.g., L 1 , L 1 (X, p,), C( X, JR.) , etc. Each of these is an JR.-vector space or a C-vector space and is endowed with a topology related to its manner of definition. Thus L 1 and L 1 ( X, p,) are metric spaces, whereas C ( X, JR.) inherits a topology from CX viewed a Cartesian product. In short, each is a paradigm for a topological as

vector space .

3.1. 1 DEFINITION. A topological vector space (TVS) (V, T) ( OR SIMPLY V) IS A C-VECTOR SPACE ENDOWED WITH A HAUSDORFF TOPOLOGY T SUCH THAT THE MAPS V

FOR VECTOR ADDITION AND MULTIPLICATION OF VECTORS BY SCALARS ( ELEMENTS OF C ) ARE CONTINUOUS. THE ORIGIN ( THE ADDITIVE IDEN TITY ) OF V IS DENOTED O. WHEN SOME NEIGHBORHOOD BASE FOR T CONSISTS OF CONVEX SETS, V IS A locally convex topological vector space (LCTV S ) . The class of locally convex topological vector spaces includes the class of normed spaces, i.e., the class of those vector spaces V for which there is a norm, namely a map II II V '3 x r-+ Ilxll E [0, (0 ) such that: a) Ilxll = 0 iff x = 0; b) Ilx + yll � Ilxll + Ilyl l ; c ) for z in C and x in V , Ilzxll = Izl . Ilxll . 3.1.2 Exercise. If (V, II I I ) is a normed space, then :

Ilx - yll 2': I llxll - Ilyll l · When ( V, II I I ) is a normed space, d : V 2 '3 (x, y) r-+ Ilx - yll is a metric for V. When (V, d) is complete, V is a Banach space. THEORE M 2.2.32 implies L 1 and, for any measure space (X, S, p,), L 1 (X, p,) are Banach spaces. 89

which, for the two possibilities, p < p' .s q and p < q .s p' is the burden of the assertion that the slope increases as the determining point P moves right. Conversely, if the slope of (PQ) increases as P moves to the right, e.g., q - p' when p < , < q, and t cle=f , then q-p

In many parts of mathematics, the study of a set 5 is carried out in part by the study of a well-chosen set of maps of 5 into a concrete and better understood structure Y. The more the maps in can and do respect the structure of 5, the more likely is to reveal the nature of 5. A map in respects the structure of 5 if respects both the alge braic and topological character of 5. More specifically, if 5 is a topological vector space V, is useful if it is a vector space homomorphism of V into

The argument is carried out in three steps: a) It is assumed that m(W) c JR and for some y in V, W ¥ U = { w + zy : w E W, z E JR } . b ) One of the equivalents of the Hausdorff Maximality Principle is used to remove the restriction on U. c ) The restrictions m(W) c JR and z E JR are removed. a) For all w in W, some a in JR, and all z in JR, the formula m(w + zy)

defines a linear functional on U and m l w = m. The condition I m( u) 1 :::; p( u ) for all u in U places a demand on a, since Im(w + zy ) 1 :::; p(w + zy) for all w in W iff for all nonzero z and all w in W, Im(-zw + zy) 1 :::; p(-zw + zy) iff ( after division by I z l ) I m(w) - al :::; p(w - y) = p(y - w) iff m(w) - p(y - w) :::; a :::; m(w) + p(y - w) .

Since ml w = m, at least one a satisfying (3.3.8) exists. b ) The set S of proper superspaces of W to which m can be extended correctly is nonempty since S includes U. With respect to consistent in clusion as order, i.e., U1 --< U2 iff U1 c U2 and the extension of m to U2 coincides on U1 with the extension of m to U1 , S is a poset. The Hausdorff Maximality Principle applies and provides a maximal extension M of m.

3.5. B anach Algebras

Gelfand [Gelf] introduced the notion of a normed ring, known today as a Banach algebra. It combines the concepts of Banachology and algebra to form a discipline with many useful developments. Only the outlines of the subject are treated below. Details are available in [Ber, HeR, Loo,

Nai,

Ri) .

Some Banach spaces, e.g. , function algebras such as Co (lR., C ) , form the context for introducing not only addition and scalar multiplication of their elements but also a kind of addition-distributive product of elements. The basic aspects of this development are treated below. 3.5.1 DEFINITION. A BANACH SPACE A THAT IS ALSO A C-algebra IS A Banach algebra IFF FOR AND IN A AND IN C:

4.1. Complex Measures

The Riesz Representation Theorem 2.3.2 yields a measure space (X, 5, p,) and an integral representation of a nonnegative element in [Co(X, ffi.)] ' . The more general problem of finding an integral representation of arbitrary el ements in [Co (X, ffi.] ' resp. [Co (X, C] ' deserves a solution. It is given in Section 4.3. The measure in 2.3.2 takes values in [0, 00]; for [Co (X, ffi.)]' resp. [Co(X, q]" one might expect measures taking values in ffi. resp. C. 4.1.1 Example.

To measure spaces (Xi, 5i, f.-li) , i = 1, 2, there correspond: a) the space X X l X2 and b) the intersection 5 1 8 5 2 of all a-rings contained in lfj (Xl X2 ) and containing { E l x E2 : Ei E 5i, i = 1 , 2 }. There arises the question of how to define a product measure f.-l on 5 1 8 5 2 so that the equation f.-l (E l x E2 ) = f.-l l (Ed ' f.-l 2 (E2 ) is satisfied for all Ei in 5i, i = 1 , 2. The DLS approach to the answer is given below. 4.4.1 Remark. Alternative derivations can be given by prov ing whatever is claimed first for simple 5 1 8 5 2 -measurable func tions and then, via the approximation and limit theorems of mea sure/integration, extending the conclusions for wider classes of functions.

Fubinate measure spaces arise from DLS functionals and are automatically complete. Some pre-Fubinate measure spaces can fail to be complete.

The procedure described in 4.4.1 leads to pre-Fubinate measure spaces. Their completions are the Fubinate measure spaces. One advantage of the DLS approach to product measures is the fact that it immediately produces Fubinate measure spaces.

However, the left member of (4.6.4) is a point function, i.e., E ClR , while there is no reference to any point of JR. in the right member. The resolution of this difficulty is addressed in the following paragraphs. A particular con sequence of the development is a useful form of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) (v. 4.6.15, 4.6.16, and 4.6.33) : If f E L l (JR., >.) and F(x) �f

In the wider context of Lebesgue measure and integration, FTC is a corollary to several more general results that will emerge as the discussion proceeds. [ 4.6.5 Note. Most of the next conclusions are true almost every where ( a.e.) , not necessarily everywhere. The calculations involve measures of unions of sets. Because measures are count ably addi tive, the arguments are eased if the constituents of the unions are pairwise disjoint. The context is a complex measure space (JR.n , p, ). The Jordan decomposition of p, and LRN permit the assumption that p, is nonnegative and totally finite, whence regular (v. 4.2. 19) . Thus attention can be focussed on open sets, since the measure of an

f( O ) =

1x f'(t) dt.

[ 4.6.39 Note. The result is in sharp contrast with 4.6.34e) . Thus the assumption b) provides the crucial ingredient for the validity of the conclusion.]

PROOF. The line of argument is to show that f(l) - f( O ) �

11 I' (t) dt. 1x t(t) dt.

That conclusion is applicable to - f and leads to f(l) - f( O ) = The same kind of reasoning can be used when 1 is replaced by any x in [0, 1] .

Although, as a derivative, I' enjoys the intermediate value property, that alone does not suffice for the present purposes. In [ GeO] there is an example of a null function that assumes every real value in every subinterval. The technique is rather to exploit the lower semicontinuity of an aux iliary lsc function 9 that approximates I' from above. The DLS construction implies that if E > 0, there is in lsc([O, 1] ) a 9 such that 9 2': I' and

topological group G is a Hausdorff space and a group such that G G '3 (x, y) xy - l E G X

of its most important properties are given in [Halm, Loo, Nai, We2] . Below is an outline of the fundamental idea behind the existence proof.

a) The motivation lies in the next alternative definition of the Riemann and Nf E N there is a nonempty family C integral. If f E Coo of nonnegative constants such that of sets

The integral stems from the

majorization of f by linear combinations of translates of x . b) Haar's idea was to imitate the procedure described in a), namely to majorize one function by linear combinations of translates of another and thereby approximate some kind of DLS functional. For a locally compact group G and a pair f, in Coo (G, there is a (possibly empty) family C of sets of nonnegative of G constants such that for some subset S �f

Littlewood's Three Principles

In closing this discussion of real analysis there is an opportunity to mention some general guidelines [Lit ] that lie at the root of many of the arguments and ideas that have been presented. Real analysis began with Newton in 1665. In his time, a function was usually given by a formula and most formulre represented functions that were (at worst) piecewise differentiable. As real analysis grew and developed over the succeeding 300 years, there appeared functions defined by expressions of the form

Chapter 4. More Measure Theory

The study of trigonometric series gave rise to highly discontinuous functions and led Cantor to discuss the sets of convergence and sets of divergence of the representing series. He turned his attention to set the ory itself and started an investigation that climaxed in 1963 with P. J. Cohen ' s resolution of the Continuum Hypothesis [Coh] . Other significant outgrowths of Cantor's work were general topology, Lebesgue's theory of measure, DLS functionals, abstract measure theory, probability theory, er godic theory, etc. The subject of functional analysis arose in an attempt to unify the methods of ordinary and partial differential equations and integral equa tions. The techniques were approximations that permitted modeling the equations by systems of finitely many linear equations in finitely many un knowns. In passing from the solutions of the approximating systems to what were intended to be solutions of the original equations, limiting processes were employed. At this point there appeared the need to conclude that the functions found in the limit were within the region of acceptable solutions. Therein lies the virtue of the completeness of the function spaces LP and the condition that a Banach space be norm-complete. (H. Weyl remarked that the completeness of L 2 is equivalent to the Fischer-Riesz Theorem. More generally, the norm-completeness of L 1 (hence of LP ) is essentially equivalent to the three basic theorems-Lebesgue's Monotone Convergence Theorem, Fatou's Lemma, and the Dominated Convergence Theorem- of integration.) Modern methods of TVSs relax the completeness con dition somewhat-topological completeness replaces norm-completeness but some effort is made to insure that limiting processes do not lead out of the spaces in which the solutions are sought. Topology gave rather general expression to the notions of nearness (neighborhoods) and continuity. Measure theory elaborated the notion of area since integration was for long viewed as the process of finding the area of a subset { (x, y) 0 :::; y :::; f(x) } of ffi? At the start, f was a continuous function and area was approximated by the areas of enclosed and enclosing rectilinear figures. The idea for this goes back first to Riemann, then Euler and Newton and ultimately Archimedes, who, using exhaustion, determined the areas and volumes of some nonrectilinear figures. With the advent of Lebesgue's view of integration, rectangle took on a new meaning, in the first instance, the Cartesian product E X [a, b] of a measurable subset E of ffi. and it closed interval [a, b] . Nevertheless, behind all the generalities lay the intuitive notion of the graph of a well-behaved function. When topology and measure theory were alloyed, the evidence became clear that many of the results were derivable by appeal to approximation of the general situations by others where the comfort of continuity and simplicity were available. :

Paraphrased, Littlewood's Three Principles read as follows.

Section 4. 10. Miscellaneous Exercises

The striking contrast between the situations described in the two para graphs above is one of many motivations for the study of CIC . The principal 203

204

Chapter 5. Locally Holomorphic Functions

tool used in the investigation is complex integration-a special form of inte gration, for which Chapters 2 and 4 provide a helpful basis. The principal results from those Chapters are the THEOREMs about functions "( in BV

and associated Riemann-Stieltjes integrals of the form J d"(. In Section 1 . 2, fl represents a special ordinal number. Henceforth, unless the contrary is stated, the symbol fl, with or without affixes, is reserved for a region, i.e., a nonempty connected open subset of C regarded ffi.2 endowed with the Euclidean metric: as

d : ffi.2 3 [(a, b) , (c, d)] H J(a - c) 2 + (b - d) 2 E [0, (0).

Thus an element of C is regarded either as a pair (x, y) of real numbers or as a complex number z �f x + iy. When S e C, J E CS , and (x, y) E S, the notations J(x, y) and J(z) refer to the same complex number. Since polar coordinates r, fJ are frequently useful, when z = x + iy = re iO = a + re it , the notations J(r, fJ) and J (a + re it ) are also used for J(x, y) and J(z). For a complex number z �f a + ib, the complex conjugate of z is a - ib and is denoted z . This use of - conflicts with - used for closure in topology. Henceforth, for a subset S of C, S denotes the set of complex conjugates of the elements of S, whereas SC denotes the closure of S re garded as a subset of C endowed with its Euclidean topology. The term curve is reserved for a continuous map

Thus the study of differentiable functions in CIC is reduced, in part, to the study, pursued with particular vigor and success by Weierstrafi, of power series convergent in some nonempty (open) discs of the form:

D(a, r �f { z : z E C, I z - a l < } . r

Later developments (v. Chapter 10) are concerned with methods of ex tending when possible, such functions to domains properly containing the disc within which the representing series converges.

The close connection between ind 'Y and Ind 'Y when "( is a rectifiable closed curve suggests that there is a topological basis for many of the results about complex integration. An approach that reveals this basis is found in the next paragraphs. The fundamental material about homotopy is given in Section 1 .4. 5.5.1 DEFINITION.

The function J i s a valid metric in Coo . In the context described, a neighborhood of 00 in C is equivalently described as a set containing, for some positive R, { z : I z l > R } or, for some positive r, as the image under 8 of { p : P E :[ 2 , 0 < J(P, N) < r } (a punctured neighborhood of (0, 0, 1) on :[ 2 ). A neighborhood of 00 in Coo is for some positive r the set { z : J ( 8 - 1 ( z ) , N ) < r } or equivalently, for some positive R, { z : I z l > R }. The behavior of f for large I z l is that of f(P) for P near but not equal to N. Thus the locutions f has a pole at 00, f has an essential singularity at 00, etc., may be construed equally well as descriptions of the behavior of f for z near but not equal to zero or of the behavior of f(P) for P near but not equal to N or of the behavior of f(z) for values of z in Coo and near but not equal to 00. 5.6.2 Exercise. a) If f is a polynomial of positive degree, f has ,a pole at 00. b) If f is entire and is not a polynomial, f has an essential singularity at 00. c) If 00 is a removable singularity of an entire function f, then f is a constant. 5.6.3 Exercise.

The notational definition of the right member of (5.8.1) as the right member of (5.8.2) is the origin of a formalism that is extended in a manner described below. When (a, b) E Q, the evaluation map

is a linear functional, an element of [C OO (Q, ffi.)] * . The linear span of the set of all evaluation maps is a subspace VO of [C OO (Q, ffi.)] * . The elements

The linear span of the set of all functionals ), (1) described in is a subspace Vi of C oo (Q, ffi? ) * . The elements A ( l ) of Vi are considered to be I-dimensional functionals since they are determined by finite sets of differentiable curves, i.e., I-dimensional subsets of Q.

to be 2-dimensional functionals since they are determined by finite sets of essentially 2-dimensional subsets of S),(Q). An element of f resp. (u, v) resp. h of C(Q, JR.) resp. C (Q, JR.2 ) resp. C(Q, JR.) determines an element w ( O) resp. w ( l ) resp. w ( 2 ) of (VO ) * resp. (V I ) * resp. (V 2 ) * according to the formulre

In short, the pairings

serve to define two sequences

[C(Q, JR.)]* , [C (Q, JR.2 ) r , [C(Q, JR.)] * , ( V0 ) * , (V l ) * , (V 2 ) * , according as elements in the first resp. second half of a pairing are regarded as functionals defined on the second resp. first half. Functionals w ( o resp. w ( l ) resp. w ( 2 ) in (VO ) * resp. (V I ) * resp. (V 2 ) * are called O-forms resp. I-forms resp. 2-forms. Thus a function f, according to its application, corresponds to a O-form or a 2-form while a pair (u, v) of functions corresponds to a I-form . •

(5.8.4) (5.8.3)

The expression u dx + v dy in the right member of is the nota tion for {u[x(t), y(t)]x'(t) + v[x(t) , y(t)]y'(t) } dt in the left member. Thus the I-form (u, v) itself is denoted u dx + v dy. Similarly, the expression h dx /\ dy in the right member of is the notation for h(x, y) dx dy in the left member. The 2-form h itself is denoted h dx /\ dy. The virtue of the notations just given becomes clear after the intro duction of the operator d defined on O-forms f, I-forms (u, v), and 2-forms f according to the formulre:

(5.8.4)

d : (V O ) * '3 w (O) f H w ( l ) (fx , jy ) E (V I ) * , d : (V I ) * '3 w ( l ) (u, v) H w ( 2 ) Vx - U y E (V 2 ) * , d : (V 2 ) * '3 w ( 2 ) f H 0, rv

for basic forms. The formulre are extended by linearity to all (VO ) * resp. (V I ) * resp. ( v2 ) * . If f(x, y) == X, then df = (1, 0) ; if g(x, y) == y, then dg = (0, 1) :

dx = (1, 0), dy = (0, 1 ) .

Thus df = 1 dx + O dy

dx, dg = O dx + 1 dy = dy, i.e., dx = dx and dy = dy :

Harmonic Functions

6.1. Basic Properties

The subject of harmonic functions appears in 5.3.57. The conclusion to be drawn from 5.3.59 is that for some regions Q and some u in Ha lR (Q) , there is in Ha lR (Q) no function v that serves as a harmonic conjugate to u throughout the region Q. The next results explore other possibilities.

6.1.1 Exercise. a) If I �f u + iv E H(Q) , then

I E Ha(Q) and {u, v} C Ha lR (Q). b ) There are in Ha lR( Q ) functions u and v such that u + iv tt H(Q) . 6.1.2 LEMMA. a) IF u E Ha(Q) AND D(a, rr C Q, THEN THERE IS A v SUCH THAT I u + iv E H [D(a, rr] ' i.e., CONFINED TO D(a, rr , v IS A HARMONIC CONJUGATE OF u. b) IF, CONFINED TO D(a, rr, V I AND v2 ARE HARMONIC CONJUGATES OF u, THEN FOR SOME REAL CONSTANT C, V I - v2 = C. PROOF. a) If u E HaIR (D(a, rr) and a �f a + i(3, direct calculation, in view of the existence of Uxx and U yy and the validity of t:m = shows that x U y ( s , (3) ds is such the function v : D(a, rr 3 x + iy r-+ ux (x, t) dt -

that T : D(a, rr 3 (x, y) r-+ [u(x, y) , v(x, y)l has a derivative and further more that Ux = Vy and u y = -vx . Thus I u + iv E H [D(a, rrl . If u = �(u) + i<S(u) �f p + i q E Ha [D(a, rt] ' then

Customarily the symbol MVP(Q) is reserved for the set of functions continuous in Q and enjoying the Mean Value Property at each point of Q; there is a corresponding meaning for MVPIR(Q).

Hence K is bounded and since u is continuous, K is closed: K is compact. Thus, for some (p, q ) in K, u(p, q) = max { u(x, y) : (x, y) E K } 2': E. If (x, y) E fl \ K, then u(x, y) < E , whence

u(p, q) = max { u(x, y) : (x, y) E fl } ,

and 6.1.8 implies u = u(p, q ) 2': E, a contradiction of the hypothesis.

The dominating theorem for M (C) is that of His result is a consequence of a later and more general result of Runge. Thus, for concision and efficiency, Runge's Theorem is the first object of study in the current Chapter. 1 For in C, the function Ra C \ 3 Z r-+ -- is an example of z-a the simplest type of meromorphic function.

8.1. Riemann ' s Mapping Theorem

In each of 5.5.8-5.5.11, 5.5.17-5.5.19, 7.1.21, and 7.1.22 a simply con nected region Q plays a central role. Combined with 8.1.1 below, the contents of the cited results pro vide a useful edifice of logically equivalent characterizations (v. 8.1.8) of simply connected regions in C. 8.1.1 THEOREM. (Riemann) IF Q IS SIMPLY CONNECTED AND Q i- C, FOR SOME UNIVALENT f IN H(Q) , f(Q) = 1U. [ 8.1.2 Remark. The result 8.1.1 was stated by Riemann. It was first proved by Koebe who created an algorithm for constructing a sequence {fn } nEN of univalent functions in H (Q) . He showed that for some univalent f in H (Q), fn � f on each compact subset of Q and f(Q) = 1U. Riemann's Mapping Theorem is frequently called the Conformal Mapping Theorem. The term conformal refers to the fact that the mapping f preserves angles (v. 8.1.6, 8.1.7). The PROOF below consists of the crucial 8.1.3 LEMMA followed by the main argument. The line of proof is nonconstructive (ex istential) and is based on the Arzela-Ascoli theme as expressed by Vitali's Theorem (5.3.60). Other tools in the argument are Schwarz's Lemma (7.2.33) and the functions cPa used in the study of Blaschke products (v. 7.2.29-7.2.31 and 7.2.36) .] PROOF. 8.1.3 LEMMA.

In effect, 8.1.13 restates the Riemann Mapping Theorem as a result in the calculus of variations. Lemma 8.1.3 provides a motivation for Rie mann's original attempt to prove 8.1.1. According to 4.7.18, if f : Q r-+ 1U is univalent and holomorphic, the Cauchy-Riemann equations imply that the area of f(Q) is

A[J(Q)] =

�f in 1 f' (z) 1 2 dx dy

in (u; + u�) dx dy = in (v; + v�) dx dy ::::: 1.

Hence, if A[J(Q)] is maximal, e.g., if A[J(Q)] = I, f is a good candidate for the biholomorphic map of Q on 1U. Euler's equations for the stated vari ational problem take the form t:m = v = 0 and the boundary conditions for and v are simply that for all a in 8(Q), lim l (z) 1 lim I v(z) 1 ::::: 1. The z=a z = aregion, for some discussion in 6.2.17-6.2.22 implies that if Q is a Dirichlet 0, lim l u(z) I , i.e., Dirichlet ' s problem has a solution. z=a

Chapter 8. Conformal Mapping

Riemann's proof of 8.1.1 involved the implicit assumption that there is a solution to the problem of maximizing (u ; + u�) dx dy subject to

the normalizing condition, (u; + u�) dx dy � 1. The assertion that this kind of variational problem has a solution became known as Dirichlet 's

Principle.

However there appeared 8.1.14 Example. (Weierstrafi) Among all 1 in C OO (lR, lR) such that I(x) = 0 if I x l ::=: 1 and 1'(-0.9) = -1 '(0, 9) = 1 there is none for which

dt is least. (The problem is to minimize the length of a curve "( : [0, 1] '3 t r-+ t + i l (t) such that "((0) -"((I) = -1, "( t o. The =

geometry of the situation shows that the infimum of all such lengths is 2 but that the length of each such curve exceeds 2.) Thus Dirichlet's Principle, as a statement about the solvability of a variational problem, was suspect. In the hands of (alphabetically) Hilbert, Koebe, Konig, Neumann, Poincare, Schwarz, Weyl, and Zaremba, the validity of Dirichlet's Prin ciple for a simply connected fl achieved a semblance of validity. In mod ified form, Dirichlet's Principle is central to one of the derivations of the Uniformization Theorem, v. 10.3.20. Given the validity of Dirichlet's Principle for a si�ply connected fl, Riemann ' s approach leads to a u and a harmonic conjugate v such that 1 u + iv is the required conformal map of fl onto 1U. The intimate connection of Dirichlet's Principle to the solvability of Dirichlet's prob lem seems to bind the two to questions about Dirichlet regions, barriers, simple connectedness, etc. The PROOF of 8.1.1 resolves these questions. The discussion in Section 8.5 is also germane to the considerations above. For the harmonic function g corresponding to a Green's function G(·, a), v. 8.5.1 -8.5.9, some harmonic conjugate, say h, of g leads to a function ¢ h + i g E H (fl) . If, for z in fl, I(z) (z a) exp[¢(z)] , then is a conformal map of fl onto 1U and I ( a ) o. 1

If Tabed E Rr, then Tabed (Cabed ) results from an inversion in Cabed fol lowed by reflections in lines. The reflections in lines are isometric maps, i.e. , they do not alter distances between points. The inversions in circles multi ply distances between points by a constant dependent on I c l (v. PROOF of 8.4.11). Thus the radius of Tabed (Cabed) is p 2 ' l 1 The complement of Cabed consists of a bounded open disc and an un bounded component. The unbounded component is mapped by Tubed onto the bounded open disc determined by Tabed (Cubed) . The bounded open disc is a subset of Tabed (Rr). Hence, owing to 8.4.12, if SOi(3'Yii and Tabed are two maps in Mo, the interior of the intersection of the bounded open disc determined by S"(3'Yii (COi(3'Yii ) and that determined by Tabed (Cabed) is empty.

When G is unrestricted, there are the following options . One can work with r �f SGS - 1 for some appropriate S and apply the machinery developed above. One can stick with G and cope with complications that can arise when the set of centers of meaningful isometric circles has a cluster point at 00 .

Sometimes, e.g., when G = GW1,W2 ' there are no isometric circles, and the resulting discussion is straightforward. The emerging theory is that of elliptic functions to which SOme of the most important contributions came from Weierstrafi [ Hil] , v. 8.6.1 1. For some properly discontinuous groups r , detailed elaboration of the reasoning behind 8.4.14 leads to the construction [Ford] of r-automorphic functions enjoying special properties, e.g., having in R r exactly one pole of order one and one zero of order one. Manipulation of such functions leads to others that are holomorphic in n + and map n + onto C \ {O, I}. Such functions can be used to prove the Little Picard Theorem (9.3.1) [Rud] . 8 . 5 .

9.1. Intro duction

The set of entire functions is divided into two subsets, namely the set P of polynomial functions and T \ P the set of transcendental functions. If p E P, then p(C) = C is an abbreviated statement of the Funda mental Theorem of A lgebra (FTA). On the other hand, z -+ exp(z) is a transcendental function and exp(C) = C \ {O} . If f T, the Weierstrafi-Casorati Theorem (5.4.3c)) implies that near 00, the values assumed by f are dense in C. Thus zero is an isolated essential singularity of g C \ {O} '3 z r-+ f By abuse of language, 00 is an isolated essential singularity of f.

The study of 12-defective entire resp. 3-defective meromorphic functions may be confined to functions with the simple sets of {0, 1} resp. {0, 1, 00} of defections. Hence, absent any further comment, for an entire 2-defective function I, D(f) = { o, I}; for a meromorphic 3-defective function I, D( f) = {a, 1, 00}. The discussion below is devoted to showing first that 2-defective entire functions and 3-defective meromorphic functions are constants. Elabora tions of those results provide the contents of the Great Picard Theorem. 1 9.1.3 Exercise. If I E M (C) and D(f) = {a , b, c}, then h cle=f _ E E I a 1 _ , _1_ } . (Thus the study of 3-defective meromorphic and D ( h ) = { _ b- a b-c functions is reduced to the study of 2-defective entire functions.) The arguments that follow are an amalgam of the efforts of several writers: Ahlfors, Bloch, Bonk, Caratheodory, Estermann, Landau, Minda, Montel, and Schottky. Picard ' s original proof of his Little Theorem is of an entirely different character, v. [Hil, Rud] . Four steps are involved. The first seems irrelevant to the goal. A.

and other functions afflicted with ambiguity ( multivaluedness) when their original domains are extended, e.g., to C \ {a}. As the discussion in Section 10.1 reveals, a power series P( a, z ) can engender analytic continuations to power series PI (b, z ) and P2 (b, z ) such that PI (b, z ) -j. P2 (b, z) . The definition of the word function as it is used in mathematics makes the term multivalued function an oxymoron, although there is a temptation to describe as multivalued a function f that is locally represented by P( a, z), PI (b, z), and P2 (b, z). Further discussion can be conducted systematically in the context es tablished by the following items. A complete analytic function is a collection CAF �f {(Iv, flv)} v EN of function elements such that: a) each is an analytic continuation of every other; b) any function element that is an analytic continuation of a function element in CAF is (also) in CAF: CAF is a maximal set of function elements each of which is an analytic continuation of any other.

The set Coo viewed as the one-point compactification of C, is a Riemann surface. An atlas for Coo is given in 10.2.40. The function element (id , Coo ) determines Coo . The function id is holomorphic in the sense that it is analytic on Coo and id (Coo ) = Coo . Liouville's Theorem (5.3.29) implies that H (Coo ) consists entirely of constant functions. In 10.3.21 and 10.3.23 there are precise formulations of the U niformization Theorem, a significant generalization for simply connected Riemann surfaces of 8.1.1. Two of the closely related consequences, 10.3.24 and 10.3.26 are discussed as well. In Sections 10.5 and 10.6 there are sketches of the proofs of the U niformization Theorem.

In view of 10.3.21, a function holomorphic on one of the three paradigms-V, C, CcJO -is converted to a function on the under lying R. Owing to Liouville's Theorem, there is no nonconstant holomorphic function on Coo . There are however nonconstant meromorphic functions on Coo . Averaging these via 9 provides nonconstant meromorphic functions on R.] Among the important consequences of the Uniformization Theorem is the following, given here without proof. 10.3.23 THEOREM. A NONCOMPACT RIEMANN SURFACE IS THE ANA LYTIC STRUCTURE FOR SOME NONCONSTANT FUNCTION ELEMENT (I, Q). A COMPACT RIEMANN SURFACE IS THE ANALYTIC STRUCTURE FOR A NONCONSTANT MEROMORPHIC FUNCTION.

The second countability of a Riemann surface R can be derived without using the Uniformization Theorem. In [Nev2] differentials, i.e., I-forms, are used to endow R with a metric ( cf. 10.5.3) and, via Schwarz's and Harnack's Theorem (6.2.24) , to show that R contains a countable dense subset. Yet another approach to the second countability of R is found in 10.6.9.

1 0 . 5 . The Uniformization Theorem

The current Section covers the concepts and arguments leading to the Uniformization Theorem and its associated statements. The Uniformization Theorem deals with simply connected Riemann surfaces and their three paradigms, 1U, Coo , and C. Some of the results established in the course of the derivation of the Uniformization Theo rem apply more generally to arbitrary-not necessarily simply connected Riemann surfaces. In Section 10.6 there are Exercises that lead to the proofs of some of the assertions stated without proof in the outline itself. Since entire books are devoted to the derivation of the Uniformization Theorem, at best, only suggestions of the arguments that constitute its proof are given below. The interested reader is urged to consult [AhS, Be, Jo, Nev2, Re, Spr] for further details. The theme of the development is that for each kind-hyperbolic, ellip tic, parabolic-of Riemann surface R there is a nonempty set of functions of some special type - subharmonic, harmonic, holomorphic, meromorphic, or admissible. The last two types are described in

Several Complex Variables

1 2 . 1 . Survey

The discussion of complex analytic manifolds, v.Section 10.2, provides an introduction to the possibilities of studying analytic functions of several complex variables. The particular case, when n > 1 and Q is a subregion of en , of functions in e� and analytic in Q is of great interest. At first blush the theory seems to be a simple generalization of what is known about holomorphy as introduced in Chapter 5. A closer look reveals that parts of the more extended theory are intrinsically different from their cC counterparts; furthermore, some n of the most useful theorems about elC have no natural extensions to elC • The typical element z of en is a vector ( Z I , . . . , zn ) and when en is viewed as ]R2 n , then Zj �f X 2j - l + i X 2j , 1 :::; j :::; n. When Q c en , a Bf , 1 :::; k :::; 2n, exists function f is in C 1 (Q) iff each partial derivative BX k and is continuous. The concept of analyticity can be introduced via the introduction of the following operators ( cf. 5.3.5):

12.1.1 DEFINITION. A FUNCTION f IN C 1 (Q) IS HOLOMORPHIC IN Q, i.e., f E H (Q) , IFF 8f = O. [ 12.1.2 Remark. The condition 8f = 0 is the n-variable version of the Cauchy-Riemann equations.] When n > 1, the study of functions holomorphic in a region of en IS simplified by the introduction of specialized vocabulary and notation. 445
