On the quasi-isometries of harmonic quasiconformal mappings (Q2371857)

The authors study mappings which are harmonic with respect to the Euclidean or Poincaré metric and, in addition, quasiconformal. In both cases they prove a variant of the Ahlfors-Schwarz lemma. For instance they prove the following result. Let \(f: U \to U\) be a \(k\)-quasiconformal Euclidean harmonic mapping onto the unit disk \(U\) in \(R^2.\) Then for all \(z_1,z_2 \in U\) \[ d_h(f(z_1),f(z_2))\leq \frac{1+k}{1-k} d_h(z_1,z_2) \] where \(d_h\) is the hyperbolic metric of \(U.\)
