Complex Analytic Function's Power Series

Studying complex function, I'm facing some fundamental question:
Given open and bounded set $Omega in mathbb{C}$ and $f:Omega rightarrow Omega$ holomorphic on $Omega$ which $f(z_{0})=z_{0}$. $f$ can be represented as power series around $z_{0}$ as $f(z)=sum_{n=1}^{infty}a_{n}(z-z_{0})^{n}$ so within the radius of convergence around $z_{0}$ the equality holds. therefore when I plug in $z_{0}$ I get $f(z_{0})= sum _{n=1} ^{infty}a_{n}(z_{0}-z_{0})^{n}=0$ so $z_{0}=0$. On the other hand, I can create the function $g(z)=z$ which is also holomorphic on $Omega$ but for $0neq z_{1}in Omega$ I also get that $z_{1}=0$ which contradicts with the definition of $f$. What am I missing?

  • If $f(z_0) = z_0$ then $f(z) = z_0 + sum_{i=1}^{infty}a_{n}(z-z_{0})^{n}$ and plugging in $z_0$ gives just $z_0 = z_0$. Your conclusion $z_0 = 0$ seems to be wrong.

You're missing the first term in the sum



$$
f(z) = sum_{color{red}{n = 0}}^{+infty}a_n(z - z_0)^n
$$



with this in mind



$$
f(z_0) = a_0 + a_1(z_0 - z_0) + cdots = a_0
$$



In you case case $a_0 = z_0$
