We provide generalisations of two Schwarz-type lemmas -- the first a result of Globevnik and the other due to Ransford and White -- for holomorphic mappings into the spectral unit ball. The first concerns mappings of the unit disc in C into the spectral unit ball, while the second concerns self- mappings. The aforementioned results apply to holomorphic mappings that map the origin to the origin. We extend these results to general holomorphic mappings into the spectral unit ball. We also show that our results are sharp.
We prove a high order Schwarz-Pick lemma for mappings between unit balls in complex spaces in terms of the Bergman metric. From this lemma, Schwarz-Pick estimates for partial derivatives of arbitrary order of mappings are deduced.
In this paper we prove a Schwarz-Pick lemma for the modulus of holomorphic mappings between the unit balls in complex spaces. This extends the classical Schwarz-Pick lemma and the related result proved by Pavlovic.
In this paper, we prove a general Schwarz lemma at the boundary for holomorphic mappings from the polydisc to the unit ball in any dimensions. For the special case of one complex variable, the obtained results give the classic boundary Schwarz lemma.
In this note we consider some generalizations of the Schwarz lemma for harmonic functions on the unit disk, whereby values of such functions and the norms of their differentials at the point $z=0$ are given.
In this paper we prove a Schwarz-Pick lemma for the modulus of holomorphic mappings from the polydisk into the unit ball. This result extends some related results.
We prove a version of the Schwarz lemma for holomorphic mappings from the unit disk into the symmetric product of a Riemann surface. Our proof is function-theoretic and self-contained. The main novelty in our proof is the use of the pluricomplex Green's function. We also prove several other Schwarz lemmas using this function.
The Schwarz lemma as one of the most influential results in complex analysis and it has a great impact to the development of several research fields, such as geometric function theory, hyperbolic geometry, complex dynamical systems, and theory of quasi-conformal mappings. In this note we mainly consider various version of Schwarz lemma and its relatives related to holomorphic functions including several variables.
We consider the multi-point Schwarz-Pick lemma and its associate functions due to Beardon-Minda and Baribeau-Rivard-Wegert. Basic properties of the associate functions are summarized. Then we observe that special cases of the multi-point Schwarz-Pick lemma give Schur's continued fraction algorithm and several inequalities for bounded analytic functions on the unit disk.
The most classical version of the Schwarz lemma involves the behavior at the origin of a bounded, holomorphic function on the disc. Pick's version of the Schwarz lemma allows one to move the origin to other points of the disc. In the present paper we explore versions of the Schwarz lemma at a boundary point of a domain (not just the disc). Estimates on derivatives of the function, and other types of estimates as well, are considered. We review recent results of several authors, and present some new theorems as well.
We present a set of necessary and sufficient conditions that provides a Schwarz lemma for the tetrablock $\mathbb E$. As an application of this result, we obtain a Schwarz lemma for the symmetrized bidisc $\mathbb G_2$. In either case, our results generalize all previous results in this direction for $\mathbb E$ and $\mathbb G_2$.
In this paper, we present an alternative and elementary proof of a sharp version of the classical boundary Schwarz lemma by Frolova et al. with initial proof via analytic semigroup approach and Julia-Carathéodory theorem for univalent holomorphic self-mappings of the open unit disk $\mathbb D\subset \mathbb C$. Our approach has its extra advantage to get the extremal functions of the inequality in the boundary Schwarz lemma.
We prove a ``general shrinking lemma'' that resembles the Schwarz--Pick--Ahlfors Lemma and its many generalizations, but differs in applying to maps of a finite disk into a disk, rather than requiring the domain of the map to be complete. The conclusion is that distances to the origin are all shrunk, and by a limiting procedure we can recover the original Ahlfors Lemma, that {\em all} distances are shrunk. The method of proof is also different in that it relates the shrinking of the Schwarz--Pick--Ahlfors-type lemmas to the comparison theorems of Riemannian geometry.
The main purpose of this paper is to develop some methods to investigate the Schwarz type lemmas of holomorphic mappings and pluriharmonic mappings in Banach spaces. Initially, we extend the classical Schwarz lemmas of holomorphic mappings to Banach spaces, and then we apply these extensions to establish a sharp Bloch type theorem for pluriharmonic mappings on homogeneous unit balls of $\C^n$ and to obtain some sharp boundary Schwarz type lemmas for holomorphic mappings in Banach spaces. Furthermore, we improve and generalize the classical Schwarz lemmas of planar harmonic mappings into the sh…
We prove several sharp distortion and monotonicity theorems for spherically convex functions defined on the unit disk involving geometric quantities such as spherical length, spherical area and total spherical curvature. These results can be viewed as geometric variants of the classical Schwarz lemma for spherically convex functions.
In this paper, we shall discuss the family of biharmonic mappings for which maximum principle holds. As a consequence of our study, we present Schwarz Lemma for the family of biharmonic mappings. Also we discuss the univalency of certain class of biharmonic mappings.
In this paper, we first establish the Schwarz-Pick lemma of higher-order and apply it to obtain a univalency criteria for planar harmonic mappings. Then we discuss distortion theorems, Lipschitz continuity and univalency of planar harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk with linearly connected images.
Suppose $w$ is a sense-preserving harmonic mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that $w(\mathbb{D})\subseteq\mathbb{D}$ and $w$ has a zero of order $p\geq1$ at $z=0$. In this paper, we first improve the Schwarz lemma for $w$, and then, we establish its boundary Schwarz lemma. Moreover, by using the automorphism of $\mathbb{D}$, we further generalize this result.
For $n\geq3$, $m\geq1$ and a given continuous function $g:~Ω\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{m}$, we establish some Schwarz type lemmas for mappings $f$ of $Ω$ into $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ satisfying the PDE: $Δf=g$, where $Ω$ is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. Then we apply these results to obtain a Landau type theorem.
We survey a number of recent generalizations and sharpenings of Nehari's extension of Schwarz' lemma for holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk. In particular, we discuss the case of infinitely many critical points and its relation to the zero sets and invariant subspaces for Bergman spaces, as well as the case of equality at the boundary.
We give simple proofs of various versions of the Schwarz lemma for real valued harmonic functions and for holomorphic (more generally harmonic quasi\-re\-gu\-lar, shortly HQR) mappings with the strip codomain. Along the way using the principle of subordination and the corresponding conformal mapping, depicted on the Figure 1, we get a simple proof of a new version of the Schwarz lemma for real valued harmonic functions (see Theorems 4 and 5) and Theorem 6 related to holomorphic mappings. Using the Schwarz-Pick lemma related to distortion for harmonic mappings and the elementary properties of t…
The main purpose of this paper is to develop some methods to investigate the Schwarz type lemmas of holomorphic mappings and pluriharmonic mappings in Hilbert and Banach spaces. Initially, we extend the classical Schwarz lemmas of holomorphic mappings to Hilbert and Banach spaces. Furthermore, we improve and generalize the classical Schwarz lemmas of planar harmonic mappings into the sharp forms of Banach spaces, and present some applications to sharp boundary Schwarz type lemmas for pluriharmonic mappings in Hilbert and Banach spaces and the obtained results provide the improvements and gener…
The celebrated Schwarz-Pick lemma for the complex unit disk is the basis for the study of hyperbolic geometry in one and in several complex variables. In the present paper, we turn our attention to the quaternionic unit ball B. We prove a version of the Schwarz-Pick lemma for self-maps of B that are slice regular, according to the definition of Gentili and Struppa. The lemma has interesting applications in the fixed-point case, and it generalizes to the case of vanishing higher order derivatives.
We make sharp estimates to obtain a Schwarz type lemma for the symmetrized polydisc $\gn$ and for the extended symmetrized polydisc $\Gn$. We explicitly construct an interpolating function under certain condition. To do so, we followed the methods described in \cite{Young-LMS}. Also we find a few geometric interplay between the members of the family $\Gn$ and its closure $\widetildeΓ_n$.
We describe all complex geodesics in the tetrablock passing through the origin thus obtaining the form of all extremals in the Schwarz Lemma for the tetrablock. Some other extremals for the Lempert function and geodesics are also given. The paper may be seen as a continuation of the results Abouhajar, White and Young. The proofs rely on a necessary form of complex geodesics in general domains which is also proven in the paper.
For a given continuous function $g:~Ω\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$, we establish some Schwarz type Lemmas for mappings $f$ in $Ω$ satisfying the {\rm PDE}: $Δf=g$, where $Ω$ is a subset of the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. Then we apply these results to obtain a Landau type theorem, which is a partial answer to the open problem in \cite{CP}. %The obtained results are
In this paper we prove a Schwarz lemma for harmonic mappings between the unit balls in real Euclidean spaces. Roughly speaking, our result says that under a harmonic mapping between the unit balls in real Euclidean spaces, the image of a smaller ball centered at origin can be controlled. This extends the related result proved by Chen in complex plane.
The symmetrized bidisc ${\textbf{G}}_{2}$ is defined by $${\textbf{G}}_{2}:=\{(z_1+z_2,z_1z_2)\in\mathbb{C}^2: |z_1|<1,|z_2|<1,\; z_1,z_2\in\mathbb{C}\}.$$ It is a bounded inhomogeneous pseudoconvex domain without $\mathcal{C}^1$ boundary, and especially the symmetrized bidisc hasn't any strongly pseudoconvex boundary point and the boundary behavior of both Carathéodory and Kobayashi metrics over the symmetrized bidisc is hard to describe precisely. In this paper, we study the boundary Schwarz lemma for holomorphic self-mappings of the symmetrized bidisc ${\textbf{G}}_2$, and our boundary Schw…
There is a known generalization of the classical Schwarz lemma to holomorphic functions from the polydisk to the disk. In this paper, we characterize those functions which satisfy equality everywhere in this generalized inequality: they are the transfer function of an n+1 by n+1 symmetric unitary, and in particular, are rational, inner, and belong to the Schur-Agler class of the polydisk. We also present some sufficient conditions for a function to be of this type.
A decade ago, when teaching complex analysis, the third named author posed the question on whether or not there is an analogue to the Schwarz lemma for real analytic functions. This led to the note [MT], indicating that it is possible to have a real analytic automorphism $f$ of $(-1,1)$ with $f'(0)$ arbitrarily large. In this note we provide other families with this property, and moreover show that we can always find such a function so that $f'(0)$ equals any desired real number. We end with some questions on related problems.
We prove a sharp Schwarz type inequality for the Weierstrass- Enneper representation of the minimal surfaces. It states the following. If $F:\mathbf{D}\to Σ$ is a conformal harmonic parameterization of a minimal disk $Σ$, where $\mathbf{D}$ is the unit disk and $|Σ|=πR^2$, then $|F_x(z)|(1-|z|^2)\le R$. If for some $z$ the previous inequality is equality, then the surface is an affine disk, and $F$ is linear up to a Möbius transformation of the unit disk.
The purpose of this paper is to study the properties of the solutions to the biharmonic equations: $Δ(Δf)=g$, where $g:$ $\overline{\mathbb{D}}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ is a continuous function and $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$ denotes the closure of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. In fact, we establish the following properties for those solutions: Firstly, we establish the Schwarz type lemma. Secondly, by using the obtained results, we get a Landau type theorem. Thirdly, we discuss their Lipschitz type property.
We establish some Schwarz type Lemmas for mappings defined on the unit disk with bounded Laplacian. Then we apply these results to obtain boundary versions of the Schwarz lemma.
We present a form of Schwarz's lemma for holomorphic maps between convex domains $D_1$ and $D_2$. This result provides a lower bound on the distance between the images of relatively compact subsets of $D_1$ and the boundary of $D_2$. This is a natural improvement of an old estimate by Bernal-González that takes into account the geometry of $\partial{D_1}$. Using similar techniques, we also provide a new estimate for the Kobayashi metric on bounded convex domains.
In this paper, we discuss some properties on hyperbolic-harmonic mappings in the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. First, we investigate the relationship between the weighted Lipschitz functions and the hyperbolic-harmonic Bloch spaces. Then we establish the Schwarz-Pick type theorem for hyperbolic-harmonic mappings and apply it to prove the existence of Landau-Bloch constant for mappings in $α$-Bloch spaces.
In this paper, we establish some Schwarz type lemmas for mappings $Φ$ satisfying the inhomogeneous biharmonic Dirichlet problem $ Δ(Δ(Φ)) = g$ in $\mathbb{D}$, $Φ=f$ on $\mathbb{T}$ and $\partial_n Φ=h$ on $\mathbb{T}$, where $g$ is a continuous function on $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, $f,h$ are continuous functions on $\mathbb{T}$, where $\mathbb{D}$ is the unit disc of the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{T}=\partial \mathbb{D}$ is the unit circle. To reach our aim, we start by investigating some properties of $T_2$-harmonic functions. Finally, we prove a Landau-type theorem.
We establish some inequalities of Schwarz-Pick type for harmonic and hyperbolic harmonic functions on the unit ball of and we disprove a recent conjecture of Liu [Schwarz-Pick Lemma for Harmonic Functions, International Mathematics Research Notices, 2021].
A sharp version of a recent inequality of Kovalev and Yang on the ratio of the $(H^1)^\ast$ and $H^4$ norms for certain polynomials is obtained. The inequality is applied to establish a sharp and tractable sufficient condition for the Wirtinger derivatives at the origin for harmonic self-maps of the unit disc which fix the origin.
Based on the recently proved Khavinson conjecture, we establish an inequality of Schwarz-Pick type for harmonic functions on the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$.
We prove two results related to the Schwarz lemma in complex geometry. First, we show that if the inequality in the Schwarz lemmata of Yau, Royden and Tosatti becomes equality at one point, then the equality holds on the whole manifold. In particular, the holomorphic map is totally geodesic and has constant rank. In the second part, we study the holomorphic sectional curvature on an almost Hermitian manifold and establish a Schwarz lemma in terms of holomorphic sectional curvatures in almost Hermitian setting.
In this paper, we give a general boundary Schwarz lemma for holomorphic mappings between unit balls in any dimensions. It is proved that if the mapping $f\in C^{1+α}$ at $z_0\in \partial \mathbb B^n$ with $f(z_0)=w_0\in \partial \mathbb B^N$ for any $n,N\geq 1$, then the Jacobian matrix $J_f(z_0)$ maps the tangent space $T_{z_0}(\partial \mathbb B^n)$ to $T_{w_0}(\partial \mathbb B^N)$, and the holomorphic tangent space $T^{(1,0)}_{z_0}(\partial \mathbb B^n)$ to $T^{(1,0)}_{w_0}(\partial \mathbb B^N)$ as well.
This article discusses classical versions of the Schwarz lemma at the boundary of the unit disk in the complex plane. The exposition includes commentary on the history, the mathematics, and the applications.
This is an addendum to our earlier paper on the defect of an ample divisor of an abelian variety. It modifies an argument of the original paper to handle one difficulty there. At the same time the modification improves the result in the original paper by replacing the counting function by one truncated at a multiplicity given by an explicit function of the dimension of the abelian variety and the Chern number of the divisor.
The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem on the defect relations for ample divisors of abelian varieties. Main Theorem. Let $A$ be an abelian variety of complex dimension $n$ and $D$ be an ample divisor in $A$. Let $f:{\bf C}\rightarrow A$ be a holomorphic map. Then the defect for the map $f$ and the divisor $D$ is zero. Corollary to Main Theorem. The complement of an ample divisor $D$ in an abelian variety $A$ is hyperbolic in the sense that there is no nonconstant holomorphic map from $\bf C$ to $A-D$.
