A holomorphic automorphism of the unit disc fixing the origin is a rotation #
This file records the Schwarz-lemma rigidity for the complex unit disc: a holomorphic self-map
f of Metric.ball (0 : ℂ) 1 that admits a holomorphic left inverse which is itself a self-map
of the disc, and that fixes the origin, is a rotation z ↦ c * z for a constant c of modulus
one. Equivalently, the rotation factor is deriv f 0, and such a map with derivative 1 at
the origin is the identity. (The left inverse gives injectivity; that f is in fact a genuine
automorphism is part of the conclusion, since a rotation is bijective.)
The proof is the classical two-sided Schwarz argument. Applying Mathlib's Schwarz lemma
(Complex.norm_le_norm_of_mapsTo_ball) to f and to its inverse gives ‖f z‖ = ‖z‖ on the
whole disc; the equality case of the Schwarz lemma
(Complex.affine_of_mapsTo_ball_of_norm_dslope_eq_div) then forces f to be linear.
This advances the conformal-mapping roadmap's L2 disc-automorphism target
(TauCetiRoadmap/ConformalMapping/README.md, layer L2: "the disc automorphism group
Aut(𝔻) = {e^{iθ}(z−a)/(1−āz)}"); it is the rotation rigidity that pins down the automorphisms
fixing the origin, and is the step Mathlib's Analysis/Complex/Schwarz.lean lists as an open
TODO ("Prove that any diffeomorphism of the unit disk to itself is a Möbius map"). It reuses
Mathlib's Schwarz lemma throughout and adds no new complex-analytic input. As with the rest of
the L0--L3 conformal-mapping material, it is coordinated with the upstream Mathlib RMT effort
leanprover-community/mathlib4#33505 and should be refactored to upstream API if that work lands a
human-curated disc-automorphism classification.
A holomorphic self-map of the open unit disc fixing the origin and admitting a holomorphic left
inverse that is itself a self-map of the disc preserves the modulus: ‖f z‖ = ‖z‖ for every
z in the disc.
This is the w = 0 case of the Schwarz--Pick equality pseudoHyperbolicExpr_map_eq, where the
pseudo-hyperbolic expression to the origin is just the norm.
Rotation rigidity for the unit disc. A holomorphic self-map f of the open unit disc with a
holomorphic left inverse g that is also a self-map of the disc, fixing the origin, is a
rotation: there is a constant c of modulus one with f z = c * z throughout the disc.
The rotation factor of an origin-fixing self-map of the disc with a holomorphic self-map left
inverse is its derivative at the origin: with the hypotheses of
exists_eqOn_const_mul_of_leftInvOn_ball_of_map_zero, the map equals z ↦ deriv f 0 * z on the
disc, and ‖deriv f 0‖ = 1.
Uniqueness of the identity. An origin-fixing holomorphic self-map of the unit disc with a
holomorphic self-map left inverse, whose derivative at the origin is 1, is the identity on the
disc.
