A holomorphic function with constant modulus on a connected domain is constant. If h=u+iv and u2+v2=c2>0, differentiation and the Cauchy-Riemann equations give uux​+vvx​=0 and −uvx​+vux​=0. Their coefficient determinant is −c2, so ux​=vx​=0, and all first derivatives vanish. When c=0, the conclusion is immediate. Consequently two nonvanishing holomorphic functions with equal moduli differ by a single constant phase on a connected domain.
