By the way, an approach for verifying analyticity that is often cleaner
is as follows. Expand in terms of the function and its conjugate
(telling ComplexExpand to assume the variable is complex-valued), then
show the derivative with respect to the conjugate is zero.
In[81]:= InputForm[f = ComplexExpand[z^(1/3), z,
TargetFunctions->Conjugate] /. Conjugate[z]->zbar]
Out[81]//InputForm=
(z*zbar)^(1/6)*Cos[(-I*Log[z] + I/2*Log[z*zbar])/3] +
I*(z*zbar)^(1/6)*Sin[(-I*Log[z] + I/2*Log[z*zbar])/3]
In[82]:= Simplify[D[ff, zbar]]
Out[82]= 0
