If an entire function f=u+iv has uv bounded above, then f is constant. Indeed F=exp(−if2) is entire and ∣F∣=exp(2uv) is bounded, so the Liouville theorem makes F constant. Differentiating gives ff′=0. The derivative of f2 is therefore zero, and continuity on the connected complex plane makes f itself constant. No separate boundedness of u or v is required.
