This note is devoted to two classical theorems: the open mapping theorem for analytic functions (OMT) and the fundamental theorem of algebra (FTA). We present a new proof of the first theorem, and then derive the second one by a simple topological argument. The proof is elementary in nature and does not use any kind of integration (neither complex nor real). In addition, it is also independent of the fact that the roots of an analytic function are isolated. The proof is based on either the Banach or Brouwer fixed point theorems. In particular, this shows that one can obtain a proof of the FTA (albeit indirect) which is based on the Brouwer fixed point theorem, an aim which was not reached in the past and later the possibility to achieve it was questioned. We close this note with a simple generalization of the FTA. A short review of certain issues related to the OMT and the FTA is also included.
In this paper, we prove that slice polyanalytic functions on quaternions can be considered as solutions of a power of some special global operator with nonconstant coefficients as it happens in the case of slice hyperholomorphic functions. We investigate also an extension version of the Fueter mapping theorem in this polyanalytic setting. In particular, we show that under axially symmetric conditions it is always possible to construct Fueter regular and poly-Fueter regular functions through slice polyanalytic ones using what we call the poly-Fueter mappings. We study also some integral representations of these results on the quaternionic unit ball.
This article gives a complex analysis lighting on the problem which consists in restoring a bordered connected riemaniann surface from its boundary and its Dirichlet-Neumann operator. The three aspects of this problem, unicity, reconstruction and characterization are approached.
In this work we consider an equation for the Riemann zeta-function in the critical half-strip. With the help of this equation we prove that finding non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function outside the critical line would be equivalent to the existence of complex numbers for which equation (5.1) in the paper holds. Such a condition is studied, and the attempt of proving the Riemann hypothesis is found to involve also the functional equation (6.26), where t is a real variable bigger than or equal to 1 and n is any natural number. The limiting behavior of the solutions as t approaches 1 is then studied in detail.
We investigate the existence of non-trivial holomorphic and meromorphic solutions of Fermat functional equations over an open Riemann surface $S$. When $S$ is hyperbolic, we prove that any $k$-term Fermat functional equation always exists non-trivial holomorphic and meromorphic solution. When $S$ is a general open Riemann surface, we prove that every non-trivial holomorphic or meromorphic solution satisfies a growth condition, provided that the power exponents of the equations are bigger than some certain positive integers.
