I have a problem with the following exercise:
Let $D^2$ be the unit disc and S^1 be the unit circle. Show that the function
$ h: {D^2\setminus{S^1}} \to {D^2\setminus{S^1}} \\ h(re^{it})= \begin{cases} 0 &\text{if}\, r=0 \\ r \cdot e^{i(t+\frac{2\pi r}{1-r})} &\text{else} \end{cases} $cannot be extended to a homeomorphism $D^2 \to D^2$.
I started as follows:
Suppose that h can be extended to a homeomorphism $g: D^2 \to D^2$.
Define a sequence via
$ r_n= \begin{cases} \frac{n+1}{n} &\text{if n even} \\ \frac{n}{n+2} &\text{if n odd} \end{cases} $
This implies
$\frac{r_n}{1-r_n}= -(n+1)$ for n even and $\frac{r_n}{1-r_n}=\frac{n}{2}$ for n odd.
Hence
$e^{i\frac{2\pi r_n}{1-r_n}}$=1 if n even and $e^{i\frac{2\pi r_n}{1-r_n}}$=-1 if n odd. If I had $\lim_{n \to \infty} r_n = 1$ then for the sequence of points $(r_n,t)$ where $t=0$ I would get $lim_{n \to \infty}g(r_n)\neq g(1)$ since $g(r_n)$ does not converge but alternates between 1 and -1. The problem is that currently the sequence $(r_n)$ does not converge, since the subsequences for even and odd n have different limits. Is it possible to define a sequence $(r_n)$ such that the conditions
$\lim_{n \to \infty} r_n = 1$
$
e^{i\frac{2\pi r_n}{1-r_n}}=
\begin{cases}
\ 1 \ \text{if n even} \\
\ -1 \ \text{if n odd} \\
\end{cases}
$
are satisfied?
