Abstract

The Hayman-Wu theorem states that the preimage of a line or circle L under a conformal mapping from the unit disc to a simply-connected domain U has total Euclidean length bounded by an absolute constant. The best possible constant is known to lie in the interval [pi^2, 4 pi), thanks to work of Øyma and Rohde. Earlier, Brown Flinn showed that the total length is at most pi^2 in the special case in which U contains L. Let r be the anti-Möbius map that fixes L pointwise. In this note we extend the sharp bound pi^2 to the case where each connected component of the intersection of U with r(U) is bounded by one arc of U and its image under r. We also strengthen the bounds slightly by replacing Euclidean length with the strictly larger spherical length restricted to the unit disc.

Uniform RC-positivity of tangent bundles

In this paper, we prove that every rationally connected projective manifold admits a smooth uniformly RC-positive Hermitian metric on its tangent bundle, answering Yang's question and giving a characterization of rational connectedness by uniform RC-positivity. We find an example to show that RC-positivity alone does not characterize rational connectedness. We also prove that uniform RC-positivity of the tangent bundle is preserved under blow-ups along connected smooth centers on compact complex manifolds. In the non-Kähler setting, we construct such metrics on all Hopf and Kato surfaces and obtain classification results for compact complex surfaces.

Growth, Distortion, and Schwarzian Norm Estimates for Exponentially Convex Functions

In this paper, we investigate the growth, distortion, pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms of functions in the exponentially convex class \(\mathcal C_{e^λ}\), \(0<λ\leπ/2\), defined by \(1+zf''(z)/f'(z)\prec e^{λz}\). By representing the associated Schwarz function explicitly, we derive parameter-dependent estimates for \(f\), \(f'\), and the pre-Schwarzian derivative. We further obtain Schwarzian norm estimates under both the general normalization and the additional condition \(f''(0)=0\). The corresponding extremal problems are analyzed through suitable Schwarz functions, and the dependence of the resulting bounds on the exponential parameter is made explicit.
