Textbook Question

Chapter 2.9, Problem 25P

Express the following complex numbers in the x + i y form. Try to visualize each complex number, using sketches as in the examples if necessary. The first twelve problems you should be able to do in your head (and maybe some of the othersâ€”try it!) Doing a problem quickly in your head saves time over using a computer. Remember that the point in doing problems like this is to gain skill in manipulating complex expressions, so a good study method is to do the problems by hand and a computer to check your answers.

5. (a) State the Residue Theorem. Your answer should include all the conditions required for the theorem to hold. (4 marks) (b) Let y be the square contour with vertices at -3, -3i, 3 and 3i, described in the anti-clockwise direction. Evaluate に dz. You must check all of the conditions of any results that you use. (5 marks) (c) Evaluate L You must check all of the conditions of any results that you use. ཙ x sin(Tx) x²+2x+5 da. (11 marks)

3. (a) Lety: [a, b] C be a contour. Let L(y) denote the length of y. Give a formula for L(y). (1 mark) (b) Let UCC be open. Let f: U→C be continuous. Let y: [a,b] → U be a contour. Suppose there exists a finite real number M such that |f(z)| < M for all z in the image of y. Prove that < ||, f(z)dz| ≤ ML(y). (3 marks) (c) State and prove Liouville's theorem. You may use Cauchy's integral formula without proof. (d) Let R0. Let w € C. Let (10 marks) U = { z Є C : | z − w| < R} . Let f UC be a holomorphic function such that 0 < |ƒ(w)| < |f(z)| for all z Є U. Show, using the local maximum modulus principle, that f is constant. (6 marks)

3. (a) Let A be an algebra. Define the notion of an A-module M. When is a module M a simple module? (b) State and prove Schur's Lemma for simple modules. (c) Let AM(K) and M = K" the natural A-module. (i) Show that M is a simple K-module. (ii) Prove that if ƒ € Endд(M) then ƒ can be written as f(m) = am, where a is a matrix in the centre of M, (K). [Recall that the centre, Z(M,(K)) == {a Mn(K) | ab M,,(K)}.] = ba for all bЄ (iii) Explain briefly why this means End₁(M) K, assuming that Z(M,,(K))~ K as K-algebras. Is this consistent with Schur's lemma?
