Let \(f(\zeta )\) be a regular function in the unit disk \(E=\{ \zeta :| \zeta | <1\} \) and map \(E\) on a simply connected domain D. The authors investigate the convexity of surfaces, whose equation has the form \(\Omega =\ln R^{2}(f^{-1}(z))\), defined by the conformal radius \(R(D,f(\zeta ))=| f'(\zeta )| ^{2}(1-| \zeta| ^{2}).\) In the first section of the present article, the authors give a certain criteria, of the upward and downward convexity for the surface \(\Omega =2\ln R(f^{-1}(z))\) over the domain \(D=f(E)\). They also describe subclasses of functions for which these criteria are satisfied or not satisfied. As an example, they show that the functions which map the exterior of the unit disk onto the exterior of any rectangle do not satisfy the criteria of the upward convexity. In the second section, they study the surfaces for analogs of the conformal radii in the case of doubly connected domains. In the last section of this article, the authors characterize and give some new results on the surfaces of the conformal radii for domains with convex polygonal boundaries.
