Does There exist a bijection between $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $ \mathbb{R}$ such that it is differentiable I was thinking recently about Louville's Theorem and the fact that there exist a bijection between $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $ \mathbb{R}$.
Since $\mathbb{C}$ is nothing but $\mathbb{R}^2$ via the construction of $\mathbb{C}$ we can use those terms interchangeably. I thought of the following tho transformations. First
$$f_1:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$$
which we know exists 
and then 
$$f_2:\mathbb{R} \to S^1 $$ witch is a well known bijection and is differentiable (as far as I know).
the composition of the functions $f_1$ and $f_2$ (let's call it $f_c$) should hence be a bijection between $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $ \mathbb{R}$. 
Louville's theorem states that any function such that $|f(z)|<M$ and $f\in H(\mathbb{C})$ must be equal to a constant function. aka $f(z)=c, c\in\mathbb{C}$
Our function $f_c$ is not a constant function because it ascribes a unique number in $S^1$ for each number in $\mathbb{C}$ and also $f_c$ is bounded $(f_c(z)<2$ for every $z\in \mathbb{C})$.
The only thing that could make Louville's theorem not work in this case would be the fact that $f_1$ is not a holomorphic function. Which would mean that there is no holomorphic bijection between $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $ \mathbb{R}$.
Is this argument true?
If it is, does anyone know any restraints when it comes to differentiability of bijections between $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $ \mathbb{R}$?
Thank you in advance.
 A: There are no continuous injective maps from $\mathbb R^2$ to $\mathbb R$ (which implies there are no differentiable maps with this property).
Proof: Suppose there is such a map $f.$ Then for each $y\in \mathbb R,$ $f$ is continuous and injective on the line $\mathbb R\times \{y\}.$ Since each of these lines is connected, so is each $f(\mathbb R\times \{y\}).$ Thus each $f(\mathbb R\times \{y\})$ is an interval with nonempty interior, and therefore contains a rational. But the collection of all of these intervals is uncountable and pairwise disjoint. This implies there are uncountably many distinct rational numbers, contradiction.
A: Holomorphic functions are open. So if a holomorphic function is a bijection, it automatically is a homeomorphism.
But there is no homeomorphism from $\mathbb R^2$ to $\mathbb R$.
A: You cannot even do this for a continuous mapping.  You may be thinking of the existence of space filling curves: continuous onto mappings from $[0,1]$ to $[0,1] \times [0,1]$, but these are not 1-1 mappings.
A theorem relevant to your question is Brouwer's Invariance of DomainTheorem.  If $f:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous 1-1 map, then so is the composite with an inclusion $i:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^2$ given by $i(x) = (x,0)$.  Then $i \circ f:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$ is a continuous 1-1 map.  By Invariance of Domain, the image is an open set.  But this is not the case since the image is contained in the image of $i$, namely the $x$-axis.
It may be possible to give a much simpler proof if you assume the map is differentiable.  (The Invariance of Domain Theorem, while unsurprising, is very difficult to prove without knowing some geometric or algebraic topology.)
