Maximum modulus principle:
\quad I f f i s a n o n − c o n s t a n t a n d h o l o m o r p h i c f u n c t i o n i n a r e g i o n Ω , t h e n f c a n n o t a t t a i n a m a x i m u m i n Ω . If\quad f\quad is\quad a\quad non-constant\quad and\quad holomorphic\quad function\quad in\\ a\quad region\quad \Omega,\quad then\quad f\quad can\quad not\quad attain\quad a\quad maximum\quad in\quad \Omega.
