A Note on the Hayman-Wu Theorem

A Note on the Hayman-Wu Theorem The Hayman-Wu Theorem states that the preimage of a line or circle L under a conformal mapping from the unit disc D to a simply-connected domain Ω has total Euclidean length bounded by an absolute constant. The best possible constant is known to lie in the interval [π2, 4π), thanks to work of Øyma and Rohde. Earlier, Brown Flinn showed that the total length is at most π2 in the special case in which L ⊂ Ω. Let r be the anti-Möbius map that fixes L pointwise. In this note we extend the sharp bound π2 to the case where each connected component of Ω ∩ r(Ω) is bounded by one arc of ∂Ω and one arc of r (∂Ω). We also strengthen the bounds slightly by replacing Euclidean length with the strictly larger spherical length on D. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Computational Methods and Function Theory Springer Journals

Abstract

The Hayman-Wu Theorem states that the preimage of a line or circle L under a conformal mapping from the unit disc D to a simply-connected domain Ω has total Euclidean length bounded by an absolute constant. The best possible constant is known to lie in the interval [π2, 4π), thanks to work of Øyma and Rohde. Earlier, Brown Flinn showed that the total length is at most π2 in the special case in which L ⊂ Ω. Let r be the anti-Möbius map that fixes L pointwise. In this note we extend the sharp bound π2 to the case where each connected component of Ω ∩ r(Ω) is bounded by one arc of ∂Ω and one arc of r (∂Ω). We also strengthen the bounds slightly by replacing Euclidean length with the strictly larger spherical length on D.
