Is there a function $f$ that is holomorphic on the punctured unit disc such that $f^{\prime}$ has a pole of order $1$? My answer is: No.
The following post has an answer to my question.
Here's my reasoning:
Let $f$ be such a function. Then $f^{\prime} (z) = \frac{g(z)}{z}$ for some holomorphic function $g$ on the pictured disc and $g(0)$ is NOT equal to $0.$ Now, taking integral both sides along the boundary of a small disc that is contained in the unit disc, we have $0 = g(0),$ which is a contradiction. Is this a valid argument? Any help would be appreciated.
