Distortion theorem for Bloch mappings on the unit ball \(\mathcal B^n\) (Q1044329)

A holomorphic mapping \(f\) of the unit ball \({\mathbb B}^n\subset{\mathbb C}^n\) to \({\mathbb C}^n\) is called a Bloch mapping if the family \(\{g(z)=f(\phi(z))-f(\phi(0))\}\) over all automorphisms \(\phi\) of the ball is a normal family. The authors obtain bounds (both upper and lower) on \(|\det f'(z)|\) for such a mapping \(f\) satisfying \(\det f'(0)=\alpha\in (0,1]\) and \(\sup\{(1-|z|^2)^{(n+1)/2n}|\det f'(z)|^{1/n}: \;z\in {\mathbb B}^n\}=1\). As a consequence, a lower bound is obtained for the radius of the largest univalent ball in \(f({\mathbb B}^n)\) centered at \(0\). For \(\alpha=1\), the distortion theorem recovers that from [\textit{X. Liu}, Pac. J. Math. 152, No.~2, 347--363 (1992; Zbl 0770.32003)] and, for \(n=1\), the corresponding result from [\textit{M. Bonk, D. Minda} and \textit{H. Yanagihara}, Pac. J. Math. 179, No.~2, 241--262 (1997; Zbl 0988.30025)].
