The function $f$ is constant

#1

Post by Tolaso J Kos »

Let \( f \) be an entire function across the complex plane. If \( \mathfrak{Im}(f(z))>\mathfrak{Re}^2 (f(z))-2 \) holds, then prove that \( f \) is constant.
Imagination is much more important than knowledge.

This is immediate by the little Picard theorem which says that the range of every non-constant entire function is either the whole of the complex plane, or the complex plane minus one point.

Here however the range of $f$ does not contain any point with imaginary value less than or equal to $-2$. Since $f$ is entire, the only possibility left is that $f$ is constant.

Is easy to prove:
The range of entire no constant function is dense.
