The simply connected property of the domain D is crucial because it guarantees path independence for the contour integral of a holomorphic function. This ensures that the value of the integral from a fixed base point to a variable point depends only on the endpoints, making the definition of the antiderivative rigorous and well-defined.
Conditions: The domain D is simply connected.; The function f is holomorphic on D.; The antiderivative is defined as a contour integral from a fixed base point to z.
