ANALYTIC CONTINUATION 331<br />

PROOF Let Qo be the right half of Q. More precisely, Qo consists of all<br />

Z E II+ such that<br />

0< Re z < I, 12z-11>1. (1)<br />

By Theorem 14.19 (<strong>and</strong> Remarks 14.20) there is a continuous function h on<br />

Qo which is one-to-one on Qo <strong>and</strong> holomorphic in Qo, such that h(Qo) = II + ,<br />

h(0) = 0, h(l) = I, <strong>and</strong> h(oo) = 00. The reflection principle (Theorem 11.14)<br />

shows that the formula<br />

h( - x + iy) = h(x + iy) (2)<br />

extends h to a continuous function on the closure Q of Q which is a conformal<br />

mapping of the interior of Q onto the complex plane minus the nonnegative<br />

real axis. We also see that h is one-to-one on Q, that h(Q) is the<br />

region n described in (c), that<br />

<strong>and</strong> that<br />

h( -1 + iy) = h(l + iy) = h('t( -1 + iy» (0 < y < (0), (3)<br />

h( -! + !ei~ = h(! + !ei ("-9» = h(u( -! + !ei~) (0 < () < 1t). (4)<br />

Since h is real on the bo.dary of Q, (3) <strong>and</strong> (4) follow from (2) <strong>and</strong> the<br />

definitions of (1 <strong>and</strong> 'to I<br />

We now define the function A:<br />
