Using complex coordinates near zero, for induces winding number on a small circle, so its local relative homology multiplier is . For , has local degree , since conjugation reverses the winding. For zero, take : its zero fiber is the single point zero, while the image of a small circle is a single positive real point, so its local degree is zero. Equivalently a nearby nonreal target has no preimages.
Each of these maps is proper and hence extends continuously over the one-point compactifications to a map with zero as an isolated preimage of zero. Thus
These are local degrees of arbitrary integer value. Taking times the identity on gives the same local degrees for every . In dimension one, an isolated local degree is restricted to , so the all-integers assertion is realized in dimensions at least two.
