Planar harmonic and quasiconformal mappings

2007

Abstract

Abstract. In Section 1, we recall some basic facts about planar harmonic mappings. In Section 2, we present harmonic analog of the classical Schwarz'lemma and its applications. In Section 3, we include the definition of quasiconfomal mappings along with some basic results and conformal modulus. In Section 4, our main aim is to discuss a lower bound for the module of the image annulus of a univalent harmonic mapping of an annulus.

Key takeaways

  • Thus, the class of the univalent analytic functions (called conformal mappings) in Ω is a generalization of the class of all sense-preserving univalent harmonic functions (called harmonic mappings) in Ω.
  • Both for analytic functions and for quasiconformal mappings it has a form that is conformally invariant under conformal automorphisms of the unit disk D. The invariance property is no longer valid for harmonic functions.
  • Immediately from the analytic definition of quasiconformality, for a quasiconformal mapping f : Ω → C, we see that there is a Lebesgue measurable function µ defined in Ω such that
  • By Riemann mapping theorem, any two simply connected domains Ω 1 and Ω 2 ( = C) are conformally equivalent.
  • for all harmonic functions φ on A(r, 1) and all z, z ∈ γ.
