Harmonicity under holomorphic composition
ID: harmonicity-under-holomorphic-composition
If is a holomorphic function between planar open sets and is a harmonic function, then is harmonic. In fact the chain rule and the Cauchy-Riemann equations, with , giveHere the two gradients are orthogonal and have equal length, while are harmonic. The formula holds even where . A biholomorphism therefore induces inverse correspondences between harmonic functions by function composition with it and its inverse.
