If $f$ is continuous at $z=a$ in a domain $D$ then $f$ is analytic on whole of $D$












1












$begingroup$



Let, $f$ be analytic in $Dsetminus {a}$. Also, $f$ is continuous at $z=a$. Then prove that $f$ is analytic on whole of $D$.




We know from Riemann's Theorem, if $f$ is not analytic at $a$ and in a nbd. of $a$, if $f$ is bounded then either $f$ is analytic at $a$ or $f$ has removable singularity at $a$. But here how can I use the continuity condition to show $f$ is analytic ?

It is not restrictive to assume that $a=0$ (with a translation).



Consider $g(z)=z^2f(z)$, for $zin D$, $zne0$, and $g(0)=0$.



Prove that $g$ is differentiable at $0$. Thus it is differentiable over $D$, hence analytic over $D$. Hence it has a Taylor series expansion at $0$:
$$
g(z)=sum_{n=0}^{infty}b_nz^n
$$

but $b_0=b_1=0$ (prove it). Hence
$$
f(z)=sum_{n=0}^{infty}b_{n+2}z^n
$$

is analytic in a neighborhood of $0$.
