On the boundary continuity of conformal maps (Q790279)

Let f map the unit disk \({\mathbb{D}}\) conformally onto some domain G. The paper investigates the connection between the boundary continuity and injectivity of f and topological properties of G without using crosscuts. (i) It is shown that \(\partial {\mathbb{D}}\) can be partitioned into three sets: a set of zero capacity, a set where the angular limits are injective, and a set where f is continuous and exactly two-to-one. (ii) For all \(\zeta\in \partial {\mathbb{D}}\) with at most countably many exceptions, f is continuous at \(\zeta\) if and only if the angular limit \(\omega\) at \(\zeta\) exists and \(\omega\) is not quasi-isolated, i.e. for every neighborhood V of \(\omega\), there are at least two accessible boundary points in the component of \(\bar V\cap \partial G\) containing \(\omega\).
