Riemann Mapping Theorem - Uniformization Theorem

Uniformization Theorem

The Riemann mapping theorem can be generalized to the context of Riemann surfaces: If U is a simply-connected open subset of a Riemann surface, then U is biholomorphic to one of the following: the Riemann sphere, the complex plane or the open unit disk. This is known as the uniformization theorem.
