If $f$ is analytic and $f(z)^2$ = $bar f(z)$ then $f$ is constant
I'm currently stuck on the following problem.
Let f be an analytic function on a non-empty connected open set V. If $f(z)^2$=$bar f(z)$ $forall zin V$ then f is constant on V.
I think I should be working with the Maximum Modulus theorem, but I am not sure how to use it.

Maybe use $f^3 = f bar f$ is a pure real analytic function?

The hypothesis implies that $overline {f} (z)$ is analytic and C_R equations tell you that all partial derivatives are $0$.

No need. First solve
$$
Z^2=bar{Z}qquad (1)
$$
Eq.(1) implies $Z^3=|Z|^2$ which has $S={1,j,j^2,0}$ as set of solutions, with
$$
j=e^{frac{2ipi}{3}}
$$
then even a continuous function $f:Vto S$ cannot "jump" (due to the fact that $V$ is connected) and, as $S$ is finite, $f$ must be constant. Hope this helps.

$$|f(z)|^2 = |f(z)^2|=|overline{f}(z)|=|f(z)| $$
so $|f(z)|$ is either $0$ or $1$, constantly, since $|f(z)|$ is continuous. In the former case $f(z)equiv 0$, in the latter the range of $f$ is a subset of $S^1$. There are just three points on $S^1$ such that $xi^2=overline{xi}$, so our $f$ is constantly $0$, $1$, $omega$ or $omega^2$.
