Recall also that an analytic function with nonvanishingderivative preserves angles, and their orientation, so f is in fact conformal.

Harmonic functions on open riemann surfaces 41 linna, or if it does not have a green s function, then it is parabolic. Unlike the classic riemann mapping theorem, the improved theorem allows the original domain to be finitely connected, and if the original domain has nice boundary, the biholomorphic map can be taken to be close to the identity, and consequently, the double quadrature domain is close to the original domain. Even today, more than a hundred fifty years later, the fact that every proper simply connected open subset of the complex plane is biholomorphically equivalent to every other seems deep and profound.
