Let $f$ be holomorphic on an open connected subset $Omegasubseteq mathbb{C}$.

Let $f$ be holomorphic on an open connected subset $Omegasubseteq mathbb{C}$. Assume $fnotequiv 0$ on $Omega$. If $mathcal{Z}={zinOmega:f^{(n)}(z)=0 hbox{ for all }n=0,1,2,...}$ then prove that $mathcal{Z}=emptyset$ without using identity principle.



Clearly if $mathcal{Z}neqemptyset$, then it implies that $f$ is identically zero. But I'm having trouble showing this in a formal manner.

    $mathcal{Z}$ is clearly closed in $Omega$ because it is the intersection of all of the closed sets given by $left(f^{(n)}right)^{-1}(0)$. That $mathcal{Z}$ is open follows by considering the radius of convergence of power series expansion of $f$ at each point of $mathcal{Z}$. Hence it is an open and closed subset of a connected set, and since it isn’t the entire set, it must be the empty set.

Suppose toward a contradiction, that $Zneq emptyset$ and let $z_0in Z$. Then, there is a disk $D(z_0,r)subset Omega$ such that $f(z)=sum a_n(z-z_0)^n$ for all $zin D$. Thus, $f=0$ in $D$ and so $Z$ is open. On the other hand, if $zin overline Z$, then there is a sequence $(z_k)subseteq Z$ such that $z_kto z$. As $f^{(n)}$ are continuous, we have $f^{(n)}(z_k)to f^{(n)}(z)$ so in fact $zin Z$, which implies that $Z$ is closed. But then, $Z$ and $Omegasetminus Z$ form a disconnection of $Omega$. So $Omegasetminus Z=emptyset$ and $f=0$ on $Omega$, which is a contradiction.

As $f^{(n)}$ are continuous, we have $f^{(n)}(z_k)to f^{(n)}(z)$ so in fact $zin Z$, which implies that $Z$ is closed. But then, $Z$ and $Omegasetminus Z$ form a disconnection of $Omega$. So $Omegasetminus Z=emptyset$ and $f=0$ on $Omega$, which is a contradiction.
