Distortion theorem for biholomorphic mappings in transitive domains. I (Q2277611)

For the classical distortion theorem in one complex variable, H. Cartan conjectured that it is valid for the biholomorphic mappings on the unit ball \(B^ n\) in \({\mathbb{C}}^ n(n\geq 2)\). Unfortunately, this conjecture is not true [see the first author, \textit{C. H. FitzGerald} and \textit{R. W. Barnard}, ibid. 35, No.5, 353-356 (1990; Zbl 0711.32004)]. In this report, we will consider the distortion theorem of biholomorphic mappings on transitive domains, and in the sequential paper we will give the explicit forms of the distortion theorems for the classical domains and the nonsymmetrical transitive domains.
