In this survey article the authors review the techniques and main results concerning the analysis and geometry behind the phenomena of injectivity and extensions of conformal mappings associated with several important univalence criteria. They give a fairly detailed exposition of the key ideas in the case of Nehari's well known condition for univalence \((1-|z|^2)^2|Sf(z)|\leq 2\). Here \(Sf\) denotes the Schwarzian derivative. The highlight is that the Ahlfors-Weill extension formula provides a homeomorphic extension except when \(f\) is Möbius conjugate to the extremal map onto a parallel strip. Similar results are analyzed for more general criteria, with a discussion about extension to the boundary, extremal functions, and homeomorphic or quasiconformal extensions.
