Overconvergent Power Series and Conformal Maps

Maps that are roots of power series

We introduce a class of polynomial maps that we call polynomial roots of powerseries, and show that automorphisms with this property generate the automorphism group in any dimension. In particular we determine generically which polynomial maps that preserve the origin are roots of powerseries. We study the one-dimensional case in greater depth.

Conformal maps and non-reversibility of elliptic area-preserving maps

It has been long observed that area-preserving maps and reversible maps share similar results. This was certainly known to G.D. Birkhoff [5] who showed that these two types of maps have periodic orbits near a general elliptic fixed point. The KAM theory, developed by Kolmogorov-ArnoldMoser for Hamiltonian systems [9], [1] and area preserving maps [15], has also been extended a great deal to rev...

Conformal Maps and p-Dirichlet Energies

Let Φ : (M1, g1)→ (M2, g2) be a diffeomorphism between Riemannian manifolds and Φ# : D(M2)→ D(M1) the induced pull-back operator. The main theorem of this work is Theorem 4.1 which relates preservation of the p-Dirichlet energies φ 7→ ∫ Mi |dφ| dμi under Φ# to isometric or conformal properties of Φ. More precisely: In case p = n, Φ# preserves the p-Dirichlet energy if and only if Φ is conformal...

Tree-like Decompositions and Conformal Maps

Any simply connected rectifiable domain Ω can be decomposed into uniformly chord-arc subdomains using only crosscuts of the domain. We show that such a decomposition allows one to construct a map from Ω to the disk which is close to conformal in a uniformly quasiconformal sense. This answers a question of Stephen Vavasis. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary: 30C35 Secondary: 30C30,...
