biholomorphically equivalent
Definition.
Let . If there exists a one-to-one and ontoholomorphic mapping such that the inverse exists and is also holomorphic, then we say that and are biholomorphically equivalent or that they arebiholomorphic. The mapping is called a biholomorphic mapping.
It is not an obvious fact, but if the source and target dimension are the same then every one-to-one holomorphic mapping is biholomorphic as a one-to-one holomorphic map has a nonvanishing jacobian.
When biholomorphic equivalence is often called conformal equivalence (http://planetmath.org/ConformallyEquivalent), since in one complexdimension, the one-to-one holomorphic mappings are conformal mappings.
Further if then there are plenty of conformal (biholomorhic) equivalences,since for example every simply connected domain (http://planetmath.org/Domain2) other than the whole complex plane is conformallyequivalent to the unit disc. On the other hand,when then the open unit ball and open unit polydiscare not biholomorphically equivalent. In fact there does not exista proper (http://planetmath.org/ProperMap) holomorphic mapping from one to the other.
