Riemann's removable singularity theorem (Theorem)

Let $ U\subset\mathbb{C}$ be a domain, $ a\in U$, and let $ f:U\setminus\{a\}$ be holomorphic. Then $ a$ is a removable singularity of $ f$ if and only if

$\displaystyle \lim_{z\to a}(z-a)f(z)=0. $

In particular, $ a$ is a removable singularity of $ f$ if $ f$ is bounded near $ a$, i.e. if there is a punctured neighborhood $ V$ of $ a$ and a real number $ M>0$ such that $ \vert f(z)\vert<M$ for all $ z\in V$.
