The open mapping theorem for holomorphic functions

This file proves the open mapping theorem for holomorphic functions, namely that an analytic function on a preconnected set of the complex plane is either constant or open. The main step is to show a local version of the theorem that states that if f is analytic at a point z₀, then either it is constant in a neighborhood of z₀ or it maps any neighborhood of z₀ to a neighborhood of its image f z₀. The results extend in higher dimension to g : E → ℂ.

The proof of the local version on ℂ goes through two main steps: first, assuming that the function is not constant around z₀, use the isolated zero principle to show that ‖f z‖ is bounded below on a small sphere z₀ r around z₀, and then use the maximum principle applied to the auxiliary function (fun z ↦ ‖f z - v‖) to show that any v close enough to f z₀ is in f '' ball z₀ r. That second step is implemented in DiffContOnCl.ball_subset_image_closedBall.

Main results

• AnalyticAt.eventually_constant_or_nhds_le_map_nhds is the local version of the open mapping theorem around a point;
• AnalyticOn.is_constant_or_isOpen is the open mapping theorem on a connected open set.

If the modulus of a holomorphic function f is bounded below by ε on a circle, then its range contains a disk of radius ε / 2.

A function f : ℂ → ℂ which is analytic at a point z₀ is either constant in a neighborhood of z₀, or behaves locally like an open function (in the sense that the image of every neighborhood of z₀ is a neighborhood of f z₀, as in isOpenMap_iff_nhds_le). For a function f : E → ℂ the same result holds, see AnalyticAt.eventually_constant_or_nhds_le_map_nhds.

The open mapping theorem for holomorphic functions, local version: is a function g : E → ℂ is analytic at a point z₀, then either it is constant in a neighborhood of z₀, or it maps every neighborhood of z₀ to a neighborhood of z₀. For the particular case of a holomorphic function on ℂ, see AnalyticAt.eventually_constant_or_nhds_le_map_nhds_aux.

The open mapping theorem for holomorphic functions, global version: if a function g : E → ℂ is analytic on a connected set U, then either it is constant on U, or it is open on U (in the sense that it maps any open set contained in U to an open set in ℂ).
