Domains of variability of Laurent coefficients and the convex hull for the family of concave univalent functions (Q2480076)

Let \(D\) denote the open unit disc and let \(p\in (0,1)\). The authors consider the family \(Co(p)\) of functions \(f:D\rightarrow \overline{\mathbb{C}}\) that satisfy the following conditions: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[i)] \(f\) is meromorphic in \(D\) and has a simple pole at the point \(p\), \item[ii)] \(f(0)=f^{\prime}(0)-1=0\), \item[iii)] \(f\) maps \(D\) conformally onto a set whose complement with respect to \(\overline{\mathbb{C}}\) is convex. \end{itemize}} They determine the exact domains of variability of some coefficients \(a_{n}(f)\) of the Laurent expansion \[ f(z)=\sum_{n=-1}^{\infty} a_{n}(f)(z-p)^{n} ,\quad | z-p | <1-p , \] for certain \(f\in Co(p)\) and certain values of \(p\). The knowledge on these Laurent coefficients is used to disprove a conjecture of the third author on the closed convex hull of \(Co(p)\) for certain values of \(p\): Let \(p\in(1-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},1).\) Then the closed hull of the class \(Co(p)\) is a proper subset of the class of functions defined by \[ f(z)=\frac{z-\frac{p}{1+p^{2}} (1+\omega(z))z^{2}}{\left( 1-\frac{z}{p}\right) (1-zp)} ,\quad z\in D, \] and \(\omega : D\rightarrow \overline{D}\) holomorphic in \(D\).
