TITLE: Measure of set where holomorphic function is large
QUESTION [12 upvotes]: Suppose that $f:\mathbb{C}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ is a non-constant entire function.  By Liouville's theorem, we know that $f$ must take on arbitrarily large values.  However Liouville doesn't say anything about what this large set must look like.  In particular is it possible that the large values of $f$ are concentrated on a set of small measure?
More precisely, does there exist a non-constant entire function $f$ such that $\lambda(\{x: |f(x)|>1 \})<\infty$?  Here $\lambda$ denotes the $2$-dimensional Lebesgue measure.

REPLY [2 votes]: This set can have finite measure. See, for example,
