Start with the germ selected in part (a) and continue it along paths in . At the two branch points,
The monodromy reflection at a square-root branch point therefore shows that continuation once around sends to , while continuation once around sends it to . Composing these reflections produces every translation by an even multiple of . Hence the branches of the complex inverse sine are
Every path can change sheets only by applying the two reflections
Their products satisfy
Thus an even number of reflections gives a translation by an integral multiple of , while an odd number gives a translated reflection. All possible values are therefore
in agreement with the branches of the complex inverse sine.
