Complex analysis is the good twin and real analysis the evil one:
beautiful formulas and elegant theorems seem to blossom spontaneously
in the complex domain, while toil and pathology rule the reals. ~ Charles Pugh




I was just wondering: What is the most pathological object/property you can think of in Complex Analysis?

    The behaviour of a complex analytic function in a neighbourhood of an essential singularity is insane. (I would also replace "good" by "easy and artificial" and "evil" by "interesting and important" in your value judgment about the twins. $ddotsmile$.)

  • @Rob Arthan, yes indeed, that's true! About your replacements, yeah I suppose you could think about that but well I just quoted what Charles Pugh said ;p

  • @Kezer: apologies! I didn't notice that the statement was a quotation. I stand by what I said about the value judgment, while appreciating now that it is Pugh's value judgment and not yours. I look forward to seeing the responses you get on MO.
