Choose centred charts so the coordinate expression satisfies . On a component where the map is nonconstant, the identity theorem makes nonconstant. Its Taylor expansion factors as , with and . In a sufficiently small disc, choose a holomorphic logarithm of , and hence a holomorphic th root with . The function has nonzero derivative at zero. The holomorphic inverse function theorem, which says that a holomorphic function with nonzero derivative has a holomorphic local inverse, makes it a valid new source coordinate. In that coordinate,If the map is bijective, local injectivity forces : for , a small nonzero value has distinct preimages in this local disc. The inverse is therefore holomorphic in a neighbourhood of every point, and the local inverses agree, proving the map is biholomorphic. The nonconstant hypothesis must apply to the component containing if disconnected Riemann surfaces are allowed; otherwise a constant component is an exception to the proposed local form.
