The growth and 1/4-theorems for starlike mappings in \({\mathbb{C}}^ n\) (Q920248)

Henri Cartan pointed out that the Growth Theorem of one complex variable would not extend to either polydisc or to the ball of several complex variables, owing to the difficulties of the generalization. He also observed that there is no Koebe 1/4-Theorem for normalized biholomorphic mappings. In this paper, it is shown that for the class of normalized one-to-one holomorphic starlike mappings in the ball, versions of both the Growth Theorem and the Koebe 1/4-Theorem hold. Sharp upper and lower bounds on the magnitude of the variable are found. It is also shown that there is a ball of radius 1/4 centred at the origin that is always covered.
