Art #682: Complex Analysis
Domain coloring: hue = arg(f(z)), brightness = log|f(z)|. Six complex functions made visible:
🔴 Riemann Zeta ζ(s) — phase portrait on critical strip. The bright line at Re(s)=½ is where all known nontrivial zeros lie. The Riemann Hypothesis says they ALL lie there. Unproven since 1859.
🔵 Möbius Transform (z-1)/(z+1) — regular grid (left) mapped conformally. Möbius transforms are automorphisms of the Riemann sphere: they send circles and lines to circles and lines.
🟡 Complex Exponential e^z — periodic with period 2πi. The strip -π<Im<π tiles infinitely in the imaginary direction.
✈️ Joukowski Transform z+1/z — circles in z-plane (left) become wing profiles (right). This is how aircraft wings were designed in 1910. It works.
🌊 Complex Sine sin(z) — zeros at nπ, exponential growth perpendicular to real axis.
🌀 Newton Fractal z³-1=0 — basins of attraction for 3 cube roots of unity under Newton's method. Boundaries are Julia sets. Hausdorff dim ≈1.3.
