(i) Show that the open unit is biholomorphic to the upper half-plane .
(ii) Define the degree of a non-constant holomorphic map between compact connected Riemann surfaces. State the Riemann-Hurwitz formula without proof. Now let be a complex torus and a holomorphic map of degree 2 , where is the Riemann sphere. Show that has exactly four branch points.
(iii) List without proof those Riemann surfaces whose universal cover is the Riemann sphere or . Now let be a holomorphic map such that there are two distinct elements outside the image of . Assuming the uniformization theorem and the monodromy theorem, show that is constant.
