Abstract: We consider the family of all functions holomorphic in the unit disk for which the zeros lie on one ray while the 1-points lie on two different rays. We prove that for certain configurations of the rays this family is normal outside the origin.


The paper is devoted to holomorphic functions in the unit disk \(\mathbb D=\{z\in\mathbb C:|z|<1\}\) for which the zeros lie on one ray while the 1-points lie on two rays. The main result is given in the following theorem. Theorem 1.1. Let \(L_0\), \(L_1\) and \(L_{-1}\) be three distinct rays emanating from the origin and let \(\mathcal F\) be the family of all functions holomorphic in \(\mathbb D\) for which all zeros lie on \(L_0\) and all 1-points lie on \(L_1\cup L_{-1}\). Assume that neither \(\angle(L_{-1},L_1)=\pi\) nor \(\angle(L_0,L_1)=\angle(L_0,L_{-1})<\frac{\pi}{2}\). Then \(\mathcal F\) is normal in \(\mathbb D\setminus\{0\}\). An important role in the proof of Theorem 1.1 is played by the next proposition of the paper. Proposition 1.1. Let \(D\) be a domain and let \(L\) be a straight line which divides \(D\) into two subdomains \(D^+\) and \(D^-\). Let \(\mathcal F\) be a family of functions holomorphic in \(D\) which do not have zeros in \(D\) and for which all 1-points lie on \(L\). Suppose that \(\mathcal F\) is not normal at \(z_0\in D\cap L\) and let \((f_k)\) be a sequence in \(\mathcal F\) which does not have a subsequence converging in any neighborhood of \(z_0\). Suppose that \((f_k|_{D^+})\) converges. Let \(r>0\) with \(\overline D(z_0,r)=\{z\in\mathbb C:|z-z_0|\leq r\}\subset D\). Then for sufficiently large \(k\) there exists a 1-point \(a_k\) of \(f_k\) such that \(a_k\to z_0\) and if \(M_k\) is the line orthogonal to \(L\) which intersects \(L\) at \(a_k\), then \[|f_k(z)|\neq1\;\;\text{for}\;\;z\in M_k\cap\overline D(z_0,r)\setminus\{a_k\}.\]
