Schwarz supplies the geometric majorant

Consider the disc 𝔻 = { : |z| < 1} and a non-constant holomorphic function f : 𝔻 → 𝔻. Suppose that f(0) = 0. For each n ≥ 1 and z ∈ 𝔻, define . Which of the following statements are true?

  1. A.The series converges only at z = 0.
  2. B.The series converges pointwise only on a countable set E ⊆ 𝔻 but not on 𝔻 \ E.
  3. C.The series converges pointwise at all points of 𝔻 but not uniformly on some compact subsets of 𝔻.
  4. D.The series converges uniformly on all compact subsets of 𝔻 to a holomorphic function on 𝔻.

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
