Review text

Denote by \(\lambda_{\Omega}(w)|dw|^2\) a hyperbolic metric on a hyperbolic region \(\Omega\) in the complex plane \(\mathbb{C}\). The convexity of \(\Omega\) can be characterized in terms of the density function \(\lambda_{\Omega}\) or other geometric properties. For example, \(\Omega\) is convex if and only if \(\frac1{\lambda_{\Omega}}\) is concave. The paper under review studies several new characterizations of convexity of \(\Omega\). The first one is that \(\Omega\) is convex if and only if \(\log \lambda_{\Omega}(w)\) is convex along each hyperbolic geodesic parameterized by hyperbolic arclength. The second one is that \(\Omega\) is convex if and only if every Euclidean segment in \(\Omega\) parameterized by hyperbolic arclength has absolute hyperbolic curvature at most 1. The paper also discusses several related topics: characterization of uniformly perfect regions, hyperbolic convexity of \(\lambda_{\Omega}^\alpha,\) rate of change of Euclidean curvature along hyperbolic geodesics, hyperbolic geodesics parameterized by Euclidean arclength.
