Problem 1 Let $latex V\subset \mathbb C$ be open and connected and $latex \mathcal F\subset H(V)$. If $latex \mathcal F$ is a normal family, then $latex \mathcal F' = \{f': f\in\mathcal F\}$ is also a normal family. Problem 2 The converse to the result in Problem 1 is false. Find a "small" hypothesis to make the converse true. Problem 3 Let $latex V\subset \mathbb C$ be open and connected and $latex \mathcal F\subset H(V)$ a normal family. Let $latex f_n\in \mathcal F$ a sequence such that $latex f_n(z)\to f(z)$ for each $latex z\in S\subset V$, where $latex S$ has a limit point in $latex V$ and $latex f\in H(V)$. Then $latex f_n\to f$ in $latex H(V)$. Problem 4 Let $latex V\subset \mathbb C$ be open, $latex M>0$, and  $latex \displaystyle\mathcal F = \Big\{ f\in H(V): \iint_V |f(z)|^2 dxdy \le M \Big\}$. Then $latex \mathcal F$ is a normal family. Problem 5 Let $latex V\subset \mathbb C$ be open and connected and $latex \{f_n\}\subset H(...

Problem 1 Consider the function on $latex [0,\infty)$ given by $latex \psi(t) = \dfrac{t}{1+t}$. $latex \psi$ is concave and increasing $latex \psi$ is continuous at $latex 0$ For any $latex \varepsilon > 0$ there exists $latex \delta > 0$ such that $latex \psi(t) < \delta$ implies $latex 0\le t < \varepsilon$ Problem 2 Let $latex d_j$ be a sequence of quasimetrics on $latex X$ that separates points, and $latex d$ the metric constructed from the $latex d_j$ as in class. Let, for each positive integer $latex N$, $latex x\in X$ and $latex \varepsilon>0$, $latex B_N(x,\varepsilon) = \{ y\in X: d_j(x,y) < \varepsilon, j = 1, 2, \ldots, N\}.$ Then $latex B_N(x,\varepsilon)$ is open with respect to the metric $latex d$.

Problem 1 The map $latex \Phi(z) = i\dfrac{1+z}{1-z}$ is a biholomorphic mapping from the unit disk $latex \mathbb D$ onto the upper half-plane $latex \mathbb H$. $latex \Phi$ is called the Cayley transform . Problem 2 Let $latex A=\begin{pmatrix} a & b\\c & d \end{pmatrix}\in SL(2,\mathbb R)$ and $latex \phi_A$ the Möbius transformation $latex \phi_A(z) = \dfrac{az+b}{cz+d}$.

Problem 2 Let $latex f(z)$ be an entire function such that $latex \lim_{z\to\infty} f(z) = \infty$. Prove, without any use of the Riemann sphere, that $latex f(z)$ is a polynomial. Problem 3 Use the previous problem (and not the theorems seen in class) to prove that $latex \text{Aut}(\mathbb C)$ is equal to the set of nonconstant affine maps. Problem 4 Use the previous problem (and not the theorems seen in class) to prove that $latex \text{Aut}(\mathbb C_\infty)$ is equal to the set of all linear-fractional transformations.
