[CA] From Liouville, Casorati-Weierstrass to Picard

CA

In the global sense of the whole complex plane, for those non-const holomorphic (entire) functions: In the local sense of the domain, for those holomorphic (meromorphic) functions with an essential singularity, in any neighborhood of that singularity, the functions:
  • not removable: must be unbounded.
  • Casorati-Weierstrass: must be dense on the plane. ( very strong result! )
  • Picard: omit at most 1 point. ( super strong result! )
The former one is Little Picard Theorem, the latter one is Great Picard Theorem.
