# $f$ is entire without any zeros then there is an entire function $g$ such that $f=e^g$

$f$ is entire without any zeros then there is an entire function $g$ such that $f=e^g$

What I think is since $f$ do not have any zero for some bounded domain, I can define a branch of logarithm $(\log f)$ on that domain which will gives my desired result $f =e^{\log f}$. I don't know if I am doing it right? If this is right I don't know how do I argue $(\log f)$ is entire. Hint please.

Just saying "a branch of logarithm" won't do it. In fact, since the range of $f$ will contain all nonzero complex numbers (see Picard's theorem) you can't choose a particular branch of the logarithm and have $\log f$ be entire.
Hint: $g'(z) = f'(z)/f(z)$.
@GEdgar, I can see $f= e^g$ is coming along with the hint, and $g^`$ being well defined and as a ($g(z)= dlogf(z)$) as $f$ do not have any zero. I don't know though where I am going with that. Seems something going to happen with argument principle. I am lost. Help please. – Deepak Dec 31 '12 at 1:08
Do you know the theorem that an entire function (or more generally, an analytic function on a simply connected domain) has an antiderivative? If $g$ is an antiderivative of $f'(z)/f(z)$, can you show that $f/e^{g}$ is constant? – Robert Israel Dec 31 '12 at 9:48
