Definition

A biholomorphic function is a holomorphic function which is a bijection on the underlying sets and whose set-theoretic inverse is also holomorphic.

Properties

If f:Uβ†’Vf:U\to V is a bijective holomorphic map of open subsets of complexfied Cartesian space β„‚ n{\mathbb{C}}^n, then the determinant of the Jacobian J(f)J(f) is nowhere 00, that is f βˆ’1f^{-1} is holomorphic.
