Exercise 1 is very easy, so we a
it and begin with Exercise 2
Exercise 2. Let <,> denote the usual inner product in R®. In other word
8, if 2 = (21,44) and W = (22,49), thon
=m + yy
Similarly, we may define a Hermitian inner produet (+) in € by
(=,w) = 20
‘The term Hermitian is used to deseribe the fact that (.,-) is not symmetric, but,
rather satisfies the relation
(w)=20 for all zwet.
Show that %
<2,W> = 5l(2 1) + (12)] = Pele),
Where we use the usual identification 2 = -+ iy € C with(x, ) €R?,
Solution 2. Though this is a straightforward calculation, ut we have two ways
to solve it
We suppose that z = 21 +iz2,w = wy + iu, 80

Exercise 3. With w = se” , where s > 0 and y € R, solve the equation
2" =w in C where n is a natural number. How many solutions are there?
Solution 3. We suppose that z= te’, whore t > 0 as s > 0 and n is a natural
umber. Then we have
Pe? = geil
Wo easily find that 2 = ste8+28", whore k= 0,1,+
nith root of s.
In summary, there are n solutions as has n values,
n—1 and sm is the real
Exercise 4. Show that it is impossible to define a total ordering on C. In other
words, one cannot find a relation > between complex numbers so that:
(0) For any two complex numbers 2,1, one and only one of the following is true:
zh ww > 2orZ =u.

)) Moreover, for all 21,225 23 € € with =3 > 0, then 21 > 22 implios 2123 >

Solution 4. We can conclude that ¢=0. If not, just for a contradiction, that
i» 0, then —1 =i-i » 0-7 =0. Now we may suppose that 0 > i, but also.
similarly, 0= 0-1 + 4-7 =—1 . So we must have i =0. But then for all z €C we
have 2-i= 2-0 =O. So this relation would not give a trivial total ordering.

Exercise 7. The family of mappings introduced here plays an important role
in complex analysis. ‘These mappings, sometimes ealled Blaschke factors, will
reappear in varions applications in later chapters.
