Let S be a simply connected open set in the complex plane not containing 0. By a known theorem,
there exists a log function ln z on S, i.e. a holomorphic function ln z on S such that exp(ln z)=z for
all z in S.

My question is how to define explicitly such a function when S is the complement of the spiral r=theta.

Sorry. I asked an easy question. Just let the argument
increases from 0 to infinity.
