On existence of Becker extension

Abstract: A well-known theorem by J. Becker states that if a normalized univalent function

f

in the unit disk

m a t h b b D

can be embedded as the initial element into a Loewner chain

(f_{t})_{t g e q s l a n t 0}

such that the Herglotz function

p

in the Loewner -- Kufarev PDE

partial f_t(z)/partial f=zf'_t(z)p(z,t),qquad zinmathbb{D},quadmathrm{a.e.}~tge0,

satisfies

, then

f

admits a

k

-q.c. (="

k

-quasiconformal") extension

F : m a t h b b C o m a t h b b C

. The converse is not true. However, a simple argument shows that if

f

has a

q

-q.c. extension with

q i n (0, 1 / 6)

, then Becker's condition holds with

k := 6 q

. In this paper we address the following problem: find the largest

k_{*} i n (0, 1]

with the property that for any

q i n (0, k_{*})

there exists

k_{0} (q) i n (0, 1)

such that every normalized univalent function

f : m a t h b b D o m a t h b b C

with a

q

-q.c. extension to

m a t h b b C

satisfies Becker's condition with

k := k_{0} (q)

. We prove that

k_{*} g e 1 / 3

.
