This is a doubt of mine on the basics of complex analysis.
I encountered a certain statement involving integrating a harmonic function, which would be nice for my research attempts if proved. When I strengthened the assumption to that the function is holomorphic, I could very easily do it using Cauchy's theorem. Is it always possible to treat a harmonic function as the real or imaginary part of a holomorphic function, and draw consequences from Cauchy's theorem?
