Estimates for the hyperbolic metric of the punctured plane and applications (Q5951478): Difference between revisions

The authors obtain new estimates for the hyperbolic metric of the twice punctured complex plane, based on symmetrization and polarization transformations. A recursive algorithm for computing its density is presented. Some applications to meromorphic functions and quasiconformal mappings are given. In particular, the authors answer a question of G. Martin on quasiconformal mappings of a proper subdomain of the punctured plane that can be extended to the complement of the subdomain as the identity map. Some open problems are discussed as well.
