Abstract: Loewner Theory is a deep technique in Complex Analysis affording a basis for many further important developments such as the proof of famous Bieberbach's conjecture and well-celebrated Schramm's Stochastic Loewner Evolution (SLE). It provides analytic description of expanding domains dynamics in the plane. Two cases have been developed in the classical theory, namely the {it radial} and the {it chordal} Loewner evolutions, referring to the associated families of holomorphic self-mappings being normalized at an internal or boundary point of the reference domain, respectively. Recently there has been introduced a new approach [arXiv:0807.1594v1, arXiv:0807.1715v1, arXiv:0902.3116v1] bringing together, and containing as quite special cases, radial and chordal variants of Loewner Theory. In the framework of this approach we address the question what kind of systems of simply connected domains can be described by means of Loewner chains of chordal type. As an answer to this question we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simply connected domains to be the range of a generalized Loewner chain of chordal type. We also provide an easy-to-check geometric sufficient condition for that. In addition, we obtain analogous results for the less general case of chordal Loewner evolution considered by I.A.Aleksandrov, S.T.Aleksandrov and V.V.Sobolev, 1983; V.V.Goryainov and I.Ba, 1992; R.O.Bauer, 2005 [arXiv:math/0306130v1].

Review text

Loewner theory is a deep technique in Complex analysis affording a basis for many further important developments such as the proof of the famous Bieberbach conjecture and Schramm's celebrated stochastic Loewner evolution. It provides an analytic description of expanding domains dynamics in the plane. Two cases are developed in the classical theory, namely, the radial and the chordal Loewner evolutions, referring to the associated families of holomorphic self-mappings being normalized at an inner or a boundary point of the reference domain. Recently, a new approach was introduced [\textit{F. Bracci, M. D. Contreras} and \textit{S. Diaz-Madrigal}, Math. Ann. 344, No. 4, 947--962 (2009; Zbl 1198.32010) and \textit{M. D. Contreras, S. Diaz-Madrigal} and \textit{P. Gumenyuk}, Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 26, No. 3, 975--1012 (2010; Zbl 1209.30011)], bringing together and containing as special cases, the radial and chordal variants of the Loewner theory. In the framework of this approach, the authors address the question what kind of systems of simply connected domains can be described by means of Loewner chains of chordal type. As an answer to this question, the authors establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simply connected domains to be the range of a generalized Loewner chain of chordal type. They also provide an easy to check sufficient geometric condition for that. In addition, they obtain analogous results for the less general case of the chordal Loewner evolution considered in [\textit{I. A. Aleksandrov, S. T. Aleksandrov} and \textit{V. V. Sobolev}, Complex analysis, Banach Cent. Publ. 11, 7--32 (1983; Zbl 0547.30016); \textit{R. O. Bauer}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 302, No. 2, 484--501 (2005; Zbl 1067.30035); and \textit{V. V. Goryajnov} and \textit{I. Ba}, Ukr. Math. J. 44, No. 10, 1209--1217 (1992); translation from Ukr. Mat. Zh. 44, No. 10, 1320--1329 (1992; Zbl 0873.30006)].
