Suppose were a holomorphic bijection. By the allowed nonvanishing derivative result, throughout . The holomorphic inverse function theorem gives a holomorphic inverse locally at every image point. Since is globally bijective, these local inverses agree with its global inverse .
Thus is an entire function with . The Liouville theorem forces to be constant, contradicting its being an inverse. Therefore
This is the analytic obstruction behind the fact that the complex plane and unit disc are homeomorphic but not conformally equivalent.
