This is expected. From the Reduce documentation, under "More Information": Reduce[expr, vars] assumes by default that quantities appearing algebraically in inequalities are real, while all other quantities are complex. http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Reduce.html So you need to specify Complexes as the domain: Reduce[(z - a)/(1 - Conjugate[a]*z) == w && a*Conjugate[a] < 1 && w*Conjugate[w] < 1, z, Complexes] Bhuvanesh, Wolfram Research
