On a domain carrying a branch of the complex logarithm, the holomorphic function has real part equal to the chosen angle and imaginary part . These are harmonic conjugates; their level sets are rays and circles, meeting orthogonally. For the principal real arctangent , its domain has the two components and . The corresponding holomorphic functions are and , using the complex logarithm on the right half-plane. This formulation does not assert a globally single-valued angle on the punctured plane.
