[Math] an analytic function from unit disk to unit disk with two fixed point

complex-analysis

prove that if $f:\mathbb{D}\rightarrow\mathbb{D}$ is analytic with two distinct fixed point then $f$ is identity.

I thought if one of the fixed points was zero by schwarz lemma this statement is easily proved.

but what can I do if fixed points were nonzero?

Good. So it remains to reduce the general case to the known special case.

Let $T$ be an automorphism of $\mathbb{D}$. What do you know about $T^{-1}\circ f \circ T$? Can you find a condition on $T$ that reduces the problem to the known case?
