Proof: clarify where we use the hypothesis that U is a ___domain; judging by the talk page, this was not clear to everyone
replacing redirect Holomorphic to dab page with appropriate destination Holomorphic function

In [[complex analysis]], the '''open mapping theorem''' states that if ''U'' is a [[Domain (mathematical analysis)|___domain]] of the [[complex plane]] '''C''' and ''f'' : ''U'' → '''C''' is a non-constant [[holomorphic]] function]], then ''f'' is an [[open map]] (i.e. it sends open subsets of ''U'' to open subsets of '''C''').
 
The open mapping theorem points to the sharp difference between holomorphy and real-differentiability. On the [[real line]], for example, the differentiable function ''f''(''x'') = ''x''<sup>2</sup> is not an open map, as the image of the [[open interval]] (−1, 1) is the half-open interval [0, 1).
