The Schwarz-Pick lemma states that if $D$ denotes the unit disk in the complex plane, and $f: D\rightarrow D$ is a holomorphic function, then it is a contraction with respect to the Poincare metric (which we shall denote as $\rho$) on the disk. A natural question to ask (for me at least) is are all functions $f: D\rightarrow D$ which are contractions with respect to $\rho$ holomorphic? This cannot be true exactly as stated since, if we denote the conjugation map by $\tau: z\mapsto \bar{z}$, we have, for an arbitrary holomorphic function $f$: \begin{align} \rho(f\circ\tau(z_1), f\circ\tau(z_2)) & \leq \rho(\tau(z_1),\tau(z_2))\\ &= \rho(z_1,z_2) \end{align} Since $\tau$ is an isometry for $\rho$; but $f\circ\tau$ is anti-analytic. So, my question is:
Is every function which is a contraction with respect to $\rho$ either analytic or anti-analytic? This seems too good to be true, so could anyone provide a simple counter-example?
Edit: contraction is the wrong word. It should be replaced with non-expansive or 1 Lispchitz as in 5P.M.'s answer.
