Constant functions are holomorphic without preserving the properties of C

The issue is that the Cauchy Riemann equations don't hold. (You would need 1==-1)




Picard's theorem tells us constant functions are the only example of that, though (more or less because 0 == -0 [1] and that's only true for 0).

[1] I sincerely apologize to anyone who works with floats for this statement.


No need to apologize, 0 == -0 even if we are talking about floats.
