Abstract: We give a generalization of the Komatu-Loewner equation to multiple slits. Therefore, we consider an n-connected circular slit disk Omega as our initial domain minus minmathbbN disjoint, simple and continuous curves that grow from the outer boundary partialmathbbD of Omega into the interior. Consequently we get a decreasing family (Omegat)tin[0,T] of domains with Omega0=Omega. We will prove that the corresponding Riemann mapping functions gt from Omegat onto a circular slit disk, which are normalized by gt(0)=0 and gt′(0)>0, satisfy a Loewner equation known as the Komatu-Loewner equation.


Let \(\Omega \) be a multiply connected domain in the complex plane that consists of the unit disk \(\mathbb{D}\) minus \(n\) proper concentric circular slits. Such domains are called circularly slit disk domains. The authors give a generalization of the Komatu-Loewner equation for the case when \(m\) disjoint, simple and continuous curves grow from the outer boundary \(\partial \mathbb{D}\) of \(\Omega \) into the interior. Thus they obtain a decreasing family \(\{ \Omega _t\}_{t\in [0,T]}\) of domains with \(\Omega _0=\Omega \). They prove that the corresponding Riemann mapping functions \(g_t\) from \(\Omega _t\) onto a circularly slit disk domain, which are normalized by \(g_t(0)=0\) and \(g'(t)>0\), satisfy a Komatu-Loewner differential equation. When \(\Omega \) is a simply connected domain this is the well-known Loewner differential equation. Among the first to extent the Loewner differential equations to multiply connected domains was Komatu in 1943. In recent publications [J. Funct. Anal. 237, No. 2, 565--588 (2006; Zbl 1098.60086); Math. Z. 258, No. 2, 241--265 (2008; Zbl 1130.30006)] \textit{R. O. Bauer} and \textit{R. M. Friedrich} extended the Komatu-Loewner equation to multiply connected domains with one slit (\(m=1\)) that extends from the outer boundary into the interior.
