Liouville's theorem for Banach spaces without the Hahn-Banach theorem?

Solution 1:

The usual argument (from Ahlfors) is to use the estimate $|f'(a)| \leq M/r$, where M is a bound for $|f|$ and $r$ is the radius of a large circle about $0$ containing $a$. This follows from Cauchy's integral formula. I believe there is no difficulty proving Cauchy's theorem and integral formula for Banach space valued functions using classical methods, since these just estimate absolute values (replace by norms) and then use completeness. First you need some integration, but the integral that is the limit of the integral on step maps suffices.
