Let D={zCz<1}D=\{z \in \mathbb{C}|| z \mid<1\} be the open unit disk, and let CC be its boundary (the unit circle), with the anticlockwise orientation. Suppose ϕ:CC\phi: C \rightarrow \mathbb{C} is continuous. Stating clearly any theorems you use, show that

gϕ(w)=12πiCϕ(z)zwdzg_{\phi}(w)=\frac{1}{2 \pi i} \int_{C} \frac{\phi(z)}{z-w} d z

is an analytic function of ww for wDw \in D.

Now suppose ϕ\phi is the restriction of a holomorphic function FF defined on some annulus 1ϵ<z<1+ϵ1-\epsilon<|z|<1+\epsilon. Show that gϕ(w)g_{\phi}(w) is the restriction of a holomorphic function defined on the open disc w<1+ϵ|w|<1+\epsilon.

Let fϕ:[0,2π]Cf_{\phi}:[0,2 \pi] \rightarrow \mathbb{C} be defined by fϕ(θ)=ϕ(eiθ)f_{\phi}(\theta)=\phi\left(e^{i \theta}\right). Express the coefficients in the power series expansion of gϕg_{\phi} centered at 0 in terms of fϕf_{\phi}.

Let nZn \in \mathbb{Z}. What is gϕg_{\phi} in the following cases?

  1. ϕ(z)=zn\phi(z)=z^{n}.

  2. ϕ(z)=zˉn\phi(z)=\bar{z}^{n}.

  3. ϕ(z)=(Rez)2\phi(z)=(\operatorname{Re} z)^{2}.
