Hi! I am Max.
Question:
We know that
if a series converges absolutely at magnitude $r$,
then it converges at every $z$ such that $|z|=r$.
Is the converse true?
My answer: abs_converse.pdf
$$ \hat{f}(\xi) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) e^{-2\pi ix\xi} dx = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(-x) e^{-2\pi i(-x)\xi} dx = \pm \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) e^{-2\pi ix(-\xi)} dx = \pm \hat{f}(-\xi) $$
This proves the $\implies$ direction.
Similar argument but with Fourier inversion formula proves the $\impliedby$ direction.
Denote $B_a(z) = \frac{ a-z }{ 1-\overline{a}z }$ and recall SS ch 1 ex 7.
Definition: the trivial automorphism of $\mathbb{D}$ is $\operatorname{id}_\mathbb{D}$.
Definition: a fixed point of a function $f: X \to Y$ is an $x \in X$ such that $f(x) = x$.
Claim: Let $f \in \operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{D})$. If $f$ is nontrivial,
then $f$ has at most one fixed point.
Proof:
We prove the contrapositive; assume $f$ has two distinct fixed points $z_0,z_1 \in \mathbb{D}$.
The function $g = B_{z_0} \circ f \circ B_{z_0}$ fixes $0$ and $B_{z_0}(z_1)$
so Schwarz lemma gives $g = (z \mapsto \lambda z)$ for some $\lambda \in \partial\mathbb{D}$,
and we must have $\lambda = 1$ since $g$ fixes $B_{z_0}(z_1)$,
hence $g = \operatorname{id}_\mathbb{D}$
hence $f = B_{z_0} \circ g \circ B_{z_0} = \operatorname{id}_\mathbb{D}$.
QED.
Examples:
If $f = (z \mapsto \lambda z)$ with $1 \neq \lambda \in \partial\mathbb{D}$, then $0$ is the unique fixed point of $f$ because $f$ is a nontrivial rotation.
If $f = B_a$ (with $a \in \mathbb{D}$), then $f$ has a unique fixed point in $\mathbb{D}$ because the equation $B_a(z) = z$ has a unique solution in $\mathbb{D}$.
Hyperbolic geometry: every nontrivial isometry of the hyperbolic plane has at most one fixed point; this fails for the euclidean plane because of reflections.
I suspect that every nontrivial automorphism has a fixed point.
Two ideas for how to prove this:
• Showing that the equation $\lambda B_a(z) = z$ has a solution in $\mathbb{D}$ for $a\in\mathbb{D}, \lambda\in\partial\mathbb{D}$.
• Rouché's theorem.
