Combinatorically Prescribed Packings and Applications to Conformal and Quasiconformal Maps
The Andreev-Thurston Circle Packing Theorem is generalized to packings of convex bodies in planar simply connected domains. This turns out to be a useful tool for constructing conformal and quasiconformal mappings with interesting geometric properties. We attempt to illustrate this with a few results about uniformizations of finitely connected planar domains. For example, the following variatio...
متن کاملIntrinsic Circle Domains
Using quasiconformal mappings, we prove that any Riemann surface of finite connectivity and finite genus is conformally equivalent to an intrinsic circle domain Ω in a compact Riemann surface S. This means that each connected component B of S \ Ω is either a point or a closed geometric disc with respect to the complete constant curvature conformal metric of the Riemann surface (Ω ∪ B). Moreover...
متن کاملRegularity and Extremality of Quasiconformal Homeomorphisms on Cr 3-manifolds
This paper first studies the regularity of conformal homeomorphisms on smooth locally embeddable strongly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. Then moduli of curve families are used to estimate the maximal dilatations of quasiconformal homeomorphisms. On certain CR 3-manifolds, namely, CR circle bundles over flat tori, extremal quasiconformal homeomorphisms in some homotopy classes are constructed. These...
متن کاملExtremal Mappings of Finite Distortion
The theory of mappings of nite distortion has arisen out of a need to extend the ideas and applications of the classical theory of quasiconformal mappings to the degenerate elliptic setting. There one nds concrete applications in materials science, particularly non-linear elasticity and critical phase phenomena, and the calculus of variations. In this paper we re ne and extend these connections...
متن کاملQuasiconformal Harmonic Functions between Convex Domains
We generalize Martio’s paper [14]. Indeed the problem studied in this paper is under which conditions on a homeomorphism f between the unit circle S1 := {z : |z| = 1} and a fix convex Jordan curve γ the harmonic extension of f is a quasiconformal mapping. In addition, we give some results for some classes of harmonic diffeomorphisms. Further, we give some results concerning harmonic quasiconfor...
