Sufficient conditions for univalence in \({\mathbb C}^n\) (Q1864250)

The method of subordination chains is used to establish new univalence criteria for holomorphic mappings in the unit ball \(B^n\subset \mathbb{C}^n\) involving the first and the second derivative. Some of them represent the \(n\)-dimensional versions of univalence criteria for holomorphic functions in the unit disk \(U\subset\mathbb{C}\). Let \(f\in H(B^n)\), \(f(0) =0\), and \(Df(0) = I\). Let \(\alpha\), \(c\) be complex numbers such that \(c\neq-1\) and \((\alpha-1)/(c + 1)\notin[0,\infty)\). If \[ \left\|[Df(z)-\alpha I]^{-1}[cDf(z)+\alpha I]\right\|\leq 1, \] \[ \left\|\|z\|^2[Df(z)-\alpha I]^{-1}[cDf(z) + \alpha I]+(1-\|z\|^2)[Df(z)-\alpha I]^{-1}D^2f(z)(z,\cdot)\right\|\leq 1, \] or if \[ \left\|[Df(z)-\alpha I]^{-1}[cDf(z)+\alpha I]\right\|\leq 1,\quad \left\|[Df(z)-\alpha I]^{-1}D^2f(z)(z,\cdot)\right\|\leq 1, \] for all \(z\in B^n\), then \(f\) is a univalent mapping in \(B^n\). Numerous corollaries of these criteria are given.
