Fixed points, Koebe uniformization and circle packings (Q2366459)

We prove the Koebe uniformization conjecture in the following case: any domain in \(\hat\mathbb{C}\) having at most countably many boundary components is conformally equivalent to a ``circle domain''; i.e., a domain all whose boundary components are circles or points. Moreover, the circle domain is shown to be unique up to Möbius transformations. We will also generalize the Schwarz-Pick lemma and some other theorems to conformal mappings of domains bounded by circles. Similar results hold for circle packings.
