Hyperbolic geometry in k-convex regions

Special classes of univalent and multivalent functions of one complex variable (starlike, convex, bounded rotation, etc.) (30C45) Conformal metrics (hyperbolic, Poincaré, distance functions) (30F45)

Review text

The class of k-convex regions \((k>0)\) is a subclass of the set of convex regions. Roughly speaking, a region \(\Omega\) in the complex plane is called k-convex if the eculidean curvature of \(\partial \Omega\) is at least k at each point of the boundary. The authors study certain aspects of hyperbolic geometry in k-convex regions. For example, they obtain various sharp lower bounds on the density of the hyperbolic metric and precise information about the euclidean curvature and center of curvature for hyperbolic geodesics in k-convex regions. These geometric results have applications to the family K(k,\(\alpha\)) of all normalized \((f(0)=0\) and \(f'(0)=\alpha >0)\) univalent functions defined on the unit disk \({\mathbb{D}}\) such that the image f(\({\mathbb{D}})\) is k-convex. Applications include distortion and covering theorems (the Bloch-Landau constant and the Koebe set) for the family K(k,\(\alpha\)).
