Carathéodory's extremal problem in the class of holomorphic mappings of bounded circular domains (Q1082504)

Let \(H^*(B^ n,G)\) be the family of holomorphic mappings f from the unit ball into a pseudoconvex, circular domain \(G\subset {\mathbb{C}}^ n\), such that \(f(0)=0\). The author proves that one can find a linear extremal mapping (i.e. the one for which \(| J_ f(0)|\) is maximal) with a lower triangular matrix. When G is bounded, n-circular, complete and logarithmically convex, then every linear extremal mapping in \(H^*(B^ n,G)\) is of the form \(diag (a_ 1,\quad...a_ n)\circ U\), where \(a_ i>0\), and U stands for a unitary matrix. The results of the above type are obtained also for the class \(H^*(\Delta^ n,G)\). The paper contains a number of interesting examples.
