Holomorphic functions with constant modulus
Problem Statement: Suppose that
is holomorphic on a domain
with
constant. Prove that
is a constant map.
Ideas: If
then
. Suppose
,
. So
where
with
is a holomorphic branch of
; if such a branch did not exist then
would not be holomorphic on
. I tried applying the definition of the complex derivative directly to show that
to no avail. If it were shown that for any
in
that
it would be done, but I don't see how to make that work either.
Any hints, ideas, or a solution are welcome at this point. Thank you.
