Abstract

We present a survey of the many and various elements of the modern higher-dimensional theory of quasiconformal mappings and their wide and varied application. It is unified (and limited) by the theme of the author's interests. Thus we will discuss the basic theory as it developed in the 1960s in the early work of F.W. Gehring and Yu G. Reshetnyak and subsequently explore the connections with geometric function theory, nonlinear partial differential equations, differential and geometric topology and dynamics as they ensued over the following decades. We give few proofs as we try to outline the major results of the area and current research themes. We do not strive to present these results in maximal generality, as to achieve this considerable technical knowledge would be necessary of the reader. We have tried to give a feel of where the area is, what are the central ideas and problems and where are the major current interactions with researchers in other areas. We have also added a bit of history here and there. We have not been able to cover the many recent advances generalising the theory to mappings of finite distortion and to degenerate elliptic Beltrami systems which connects the theory closely with the calculus of variations and nonlinear elasticity, nonlinear Hodge theory and related areas, although the reader may see shadows of this aspect in parts.

Convolution Regularization Preserves the $L^2$-Estimate Property for $(1,n)$-Forms

In this paper, we prove that the \(L^2\)-estimate property for \((1,n)\)-forms is preserved under the standard convolution regularization. As applications, we show that any singular Hermitian metric satisfying the optimal or multiple coarse \(L^2\)-estimate property for \((n,1)\) or \((1,n)\)-forms is Griffiths semi-positive. This resolves a question posed by Deng--Ning--Wang and a question by Inayama.

Sharp Bounds for Higher-Order Schippers Functionals Associated with Lune and Bean Domains

We obtain sharp bounds for the third- and fourth-order Schippers functionals, $|σ_3(f)(0)|$ and $|σ_4(f)(0)|$, for subclasses of univalent functions associated with non-classical geometric domains. In particular, we investigate the lune-starlike class $\mathcal{S}_{\leftmoon}^*$ and the lune-convex class $\mathcal{C}_{\leftmoon}$ determined by the subordination \[ \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} \prec z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, \qquad 1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)} \prec z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, \] respectively, together with the bean-domain class $\mathcal{BT}_{\mathfrak{B}}$ associated with \[ \mathfrak{B}(z)=\sqrt{1+\tanh z}. \] Using Carathéodory coefficient parametrizations and extremal optimization techniques, we derive exact estimates for the higher-order Schwarzian derivatives at the origin and identify the corresponding extremal functions. In addition, geometric descriptions of the associated extremal image domains are provided to illustrate the sharpness phenomena. The obtained results further yield sharp bounds for the initial Grunsky coefficients $g_{1,1}$ and $g_{1,2}$. These findings provide a precise description of higher-order Schwarzian structures for univalent functions related to lune and bean shaped domains.

Cesàro operator induced by a Bergman kernel

Let $μ$ be a positive Borel measure on $[0,1)$ and $ω$ a radial weight. In this paper we consider the Cesàro-type operator $C_{μ,ω}$ induced by the reproducing kernel $B^ω$ of the weighted Bergman space $A^2_ω$, given by $$ C_{μ,ω}(f)(z)=\int_{0}^{1}f(tz)B^ω_t(z)\,dμ(t), \quad z \in \mathbb{D}, $$ for functions $f$ analytic in $\mathbb{D}$. Under the assumption that $ω$ satisfies a natural doubling property, we study the boundedness of $C_{μ,ω}$ acting on several spaces of analytic functions, including Hardy spaces $H^p$ and weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_ν$. For $0<p,q<\infty$ and a two-sided doubling weight $ν$, we completely characterize when $C_{μ,ω}: H^p \to H^q$ and $C_{μ,ω}: A^p_ν \to A^q_ν$ are bounded in terms of the interplay of tail integrals or moments of the inducing weights and the measure $μ$. Many of the results obtained are new even in the setting of standard weights or when the Bergman reproducing kernel is replaced by the Cauchy kernel. In addition, we consider $C_{μ,ω}$ acting on $H^{\infty}$, Korenblum spaces and weighted Hardy spaces.
