Choose a continuous branch of a multivalued function of the complex logarithm on a simply connected region avoiding zero. Then
Alternatively and , verifying the Cauchy-Riemann equations. The holomorphy is local to a chosen branch of a multivalued function: increasing by multiplies by , so this is not a single-valued holomorphic function on the whole punctured plane.
