Limit at infinity for complex functions












3












$begingroup$


Suppose $f$ is entire and $lim_{ztoinfty}f(z)=infty$. Show that $f(mathbb{C})=mathbb{C}$.



First of all I don't really understand this question. I know $ztoinfty$ means $|z|toinfty$, but what does $f(z)toinfty$ means? Does it mean $|f(z)|to infty$? Also, I just learnt about the one point compactification $infty$ to the complex plane. So the reason we write $ztoinfty$ instead of $|z|to infty$ is because we are referring to $infty$ as a point in the extended complex plane $bar{mathbb{C}}$? So $f(z)toinfty$ is also referring to $infty$ in $bar{mathbb{C}}$?

          The statement $lim_{ztoinfty}f(z)=infty$ means $|f(z)|to infty$ as $|z|toinfty$. It can be seen as convergence to $infty inBbb C_infty$ where $Bbb C_infty$ is a one-point compactification of $Bbb C$. In fact, this property implies that $f(z)=p(z)$ for some non-constant polynomial $p$. By fundamental theorem of algebra, it follows $f(Bbb C)=Bbb C$. To see this, let
          $
          g(z)=f(frac1{z})
          $
          for $zne 0$. Since $lim_{zto 0}|g(z)|=infty$ (which is true because as $zto 0$, $1/z to infty$ and $g(z)=f(1/z)toinfty$ by the assumption), it follows that $g$ has an $n$-th pole at $0$, i.e. for some $nge 1$, $a_{-n}ne 0$ and for all $zne 0$,
          $$
          g(z)=sum_{k=-n}^infty a_kz^k.
          $$
          (Here, $g$ having a pole is a classical result. Since $1/g$ tends to $0$ as $zto 0$, it has a removable singularity at $0$, which is also an $n$-th zero. It follows $1/g(z)=z^nh(z)$ for some $hne 0$ on a neighborhood of $0$. So $g(z) = z^{-n}frac1{h(z)}$ has an $n$-th pole.) Thus $f(z)=g(frac1{z})=sum_{k=0}^n a_{-k}z^k +sum_{i>0}a_{i}z^{-i}$, and since $f$ is entire, it follows $$f(z)=sum_{k=0}^n a_{-k}z^k=p(z).$$

            Thank you but I was rather talking about what is after that limit (the fact that $g$ has an $n$-th pole). I am not saying it is false. Since we have the limit on $f$ at $infty$ it cannot be an essential singularity. But it seems quite hard (compared to others answers) to write this rigorously.

          Let $g(z):=f(1/z)$ for $z ne 0$. Then $g$ has at $0$ an isolated singularity. Since $g(z) to infty$ as $z to 0$, $g$ has a pole at $0$.



          Let $f(z)=sum_{n=0}^{infty}a_nz^n$, then the Laurent expansion of $g$ at $0$ is given by



          $g(z)=sum_{n=0}^{infty}a_n frac{1}{z^n}$, which shows that there is $m$ such that $a_n=0$ for $n>m$.



          Hence $f$ is a non- constant poynomial. Now use the fundamental theorem of algebra.

              The statement right after $lim_{z to 0} |g(z)| = infty$ is not that clear to me. It would require more arguments.

              Thank you but I was rather talking about what is after that limit (the fact that $g$ has an $n$-th pole). I am not saying it is false. Since we have the limit on $f$ at $infty$ it cannot be an essential singularity. But it seems quite hard (compared to others answers) to write this rigorously.

            The statement $lim_{ztoinfty}f(z)=infty$ means $|f(z)|to infty$ as $|z|toinfty$. It can be seen as convergence to $infty inBbb C_infty$ where $Bbb C_infty$ is a one-point compactification of $Bbb C$. In fact, this property implies that $f(z)=p(z)$ for some non-constant polynomial $p$. By fundamental theorem of algebra, it follows $f(Bbb C)=Bbb C$. To see this, let
            $
            g(z)=f(frac1{z})
            $
            for $zne 0$. Since $lim_{zto 0}|g(z)|=infty$ (which is true because as $zto 0$, $1/z to infty$ and $g(z)=f(1/z)toinfty$ by the assumption), it follows that $g$ has an $n$-th pole at $0$, i.e. for some $nge 1$, $a_{-n}ne 0$ and for all $zne 0$,
            $$
            g(z)=sum_{k=-n}^infty a_kz^k.
            $$
            (Here, $g$ having a pole is a classical result. Since $1/g$ tends to $0$ as $zto 0$, it has a removable singularity at $0$, which is also an $n$-th zero. It follows $1/g(z)=z^nh(z)$ for some $hne 0$ on a neighborhood of $0$. So $g(z) = z^{-n}frac1{h(z)}$ has an $n$-th pole.) Thus $f(z)=g(frac1{z})=sum_{k=0}^n a_{-k}z^k +sum_{i>0}a_{i}z^{-i}$, and since $f$ is entire, it follows $$f(z)=sum_{k=0}^n a_{-k}z^k=p(z).$$

            Let $g(z):=f(1/z)$ for $z ne 0$. Then $g$ has at $0$ an isolated singularity. Since $g(z) to infty$ as $z to 0$, $g$ has a pole at $0$.



            Let $f(z)=sum_{n=0}^{infty}a_nz^n$, then the Laurent expansion of $g$ at $0$ is given by



            $g(z)=sum_{n=0}^{infty}a_n frac{1}{z^n}$, which shows that there is $m$ such that $a_n=0$ for $n>m$.



            Hence $f$ is a non- constant poynomial. Now use the fundamental theorem of algebra.
