Let Az(R1,R2) denote the open annulus about z with inner radius R1 and outer radius R2.
According to the basic theorem of Laurent series, if f∈Hol(Az(R1,R2)) then f has a laurent series expansion about z which converges locally uniformly in the annulus.
But what about cases where f is holomorphic in multiple, mutually disjoint annuli?
For instance, consider f=1(z−1)z
It has singularities both at z=0 and z=1 and is holomorphic in both the anuulus A0(0,1) and A0(1,∞).
Does that mean that f can be represented as two different Laurent series about 0? each converging in a different annulus? If so, what can we tell about the relation between their coefficients? And what can the series tell us about f?
If there is only a single Laurent expansion of f about 0, then where does it converge?
Perhaps most importantly though, do the answers to these questions depend on the specific example of f at all?
