Abstract

The goal of this paper is to prove the conjecture of Krzyz posed in 1968 that for nonvanishing holomorphic functions $f(z) = c_0 + c_1 z + ...$ in the unit disk with $|f(z)| \le 1$, we have the sharp bound $|c_n| \le 2/e$ for all $n \ge 1$, with equality only for the function $f(z) = \exp [(z^n - 1)/(z^n + 1)]$ and its rotations. The problem was considered by many researchers, but only partial results have been established. The desired estimate has been proved only for $n \le 5$. Our approach is completely different and relies on complex geometry and pluripotential features of convex domains in complex Banach spaces.

Pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norm estimates for harmonic functions with fixed analytic part

In the present article, we discuss about the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for locally univalent harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$. First, we prove a general result for the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian norm which rectify few earlier flawed results. We also consider a new class $\mathcal{F}_0$ consisting of all harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that ${\rm Re\,}\left(1+z\frac{h''(z)}{h'(z)}\right)>0$ for $z\in\mathbb{D}$ with dilatation $ω_f(z)\in Aut(\mathbb{D})$ and obtain best possible estimates of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for functions in the class $\mathcal{F}_0$. Moreover, we obtain the distortion and coefficient estimates of the co-analytic function $g$ when $f=h+\overline{g}\in\mathcal{F}_0$.

The Reciprocal Problem on Weighted Bergman Spaces

The reciprocal problem on weighted Bergman spaces has been posed as an open problem. In this paper, we establish several sufficient conditions for the reciprocal property and clarify the parameter ranges in which the available methods are applicable. In particular, we prove that functions in $A_α^p\cap H^\infty$ enjoy the reciprocal property in the parameter ranges where the required analytic Besov composition theorem is available. In addition, using Hardy boundary estimates, we solve the reciprocal problem in the Drury--Arveson space $H_d^2$ when the dimension is $d=3$, and give an equivalent condition for the reciprocal problem in the four-dimensional Drury--Arveson space.

Möbius Maps, Reflections and Lipschitz Constants

We introduce the chordal isometric circle of a Möbius map, and use this to give a factorization of any Möbius map as the composition of a chordal isometry and either a reflection, or a rotary reflection, across a circle. We then use this to find the chordal, and spherical, Lipschitz constants of a Möbius map, and compare this with related results in the literature.
