Punishing factors for finitely connected domains (Q2494355)

For finitely connected hyperbolic domains \(\Omega\) and \(\Pi\) in the complex plane, let \(R(z,\Omega)\) denote the hyperbolic radius of \(\Omega\) at \(z\) and \(R(w,\Pi)\) the hyperbolic radius of \(\Pi\) at \(w\). The set of functions \(f\) that are analytic in \(\Omega\) and such that all values \(f(z)\) lie in \(\Pi\) is denoted by \(A(\Omega,\Pi)\). The main result of the paper is that the quantities \[ C_n(\Omega,\Pi):=\sup_{f\in A(\Omega,\Pi)}\sup_{z\in\Omega}\frac{| f^{(n)}(z)| R(f(z),\Pi)}{n!R(z,\Omega)^n} \] are finite for all natural numbers \(n\) if and only if \(\Omega\) and \(\Pi\) do not contain isolated points. This assertion is generalized to the case when \(\Omega\) contains the point at infinity and \(\partial\Omega\) contains isolated points, and to the case of any hyperbolic domains \(\Omega\) and \(\Pi\).
