Define . To apply the identity theorem, we first verify that is holomorphic; mere complex conjugation of the values of would not suffice. For ,
Thus is an entire function, just as is. At each positive integer , the point is real and is real, so . These distinct points accumulate at . The identity theorem on the connected complex plane gives
This is conjugate reflection of a holomorphic function, with the reality data forcing equality to its reflection.
