Builds on Holomorphic functionMaximum modulus principle

Statement

Let 𝔻={z∈ℂ:∣z∣<1}\mathbb{D} = \{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| < 1\} be the open unit disc. Let f:𝔻→𝔻f : \mathbb{D} \to \mathbb{D} be holomorphic on 𝔻\mathbb{D} with f(0)=0f(0) = 0. Then ∣f(z)∣≤∣z∣|f(z)| \le |z| for each z∈𝔻z \in \mathbb{D}, and ∣f′(0)∣≤1|f'(0)| \le 1. If ∣f(z0)∣=∣z0∣|f(z_0)| = |z_0| for some z0≠0z_0 \neq 0 in 𝔻\mathbb{D}, or if ∣f′(0)∣=1|f'(0)| = 1, then there is a∈ℂa \in \mathbb{C} with ∣a∣=1|a| = 1 such that f(z)=azf(z) = a z for each z∈𝔻z \in \mathbb{D}.

Remarks

Proof idea: g(z)=f(z)/zg(z) = f(z)/z, with g(0)=f′(0)g(0) = f'(0), is holomorphic on 𝔻\mathbb{D}. The maximum modulus principle on the discs ∣z∣≤r|z| \le r gives ∣g∣≤1/r|g| \le 1/r for each r<1r < 1, so ∣g∣≤1|g| \le 1. It follows that the bijective holomorphic maps 𝔻→𝔻\mathbb{D} \to \mathbb{D} with f(0)=0f(0) = 0 are the rotations z↦azz \mapsto az with ∣a∣=1|a| = 1. The Schwarz–Pick theorem is the version without the condition f(0)=0f(0) = 0.
