Exercise · ZW-TOPOLOGY-OF-THE-COMPLEX-PLANE-008 · ★★☆ Intermediate
Which of these sets is a domain (open and connected)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \(\{z:1<|z|<2\}\)
Explanation
The annulus \(1<|z|<2\) is open and connected. The closed disk is not open, the union of two far-apart disks is not connected, and the circle is not open.
Review the concept: Topology of the complex plane
The structure that open disks \(D\) of center \(z_0\) and radius \(r\) give to \(\mathbb{C}\); with them one defines when a set of points \(z\) is open, closed, bounded or connected.
\[D(z_0,r)=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z-z_0|
