Conformal maps between two given domains
Consider two domains
$$
\begin{aligned}
D_1&=\{x=(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n:x_n\leq 0\},\\
D_2&=\{x=(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n:x_n\leq \psi(x_1,x_2,...,x_{n-1})\},
\end{aligned}
$$

Splitting of the conformal group into $PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$ and other factorizations
In 1+1 dimensions of Minkowski spacetime, the conformal group can be split into two copies of $PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$ acting on null lines. I'm curious to know if a similar split exists for the conformal ...

Conformal map between flat and hyperbolic torus with a boundary
I am confused because I can define two very different complex structures on the torus with a puncture/boundary.
For my first construction, I can imagine removing a disk from a flat torus, inheriting ...

Do we have uniformization theorems for fractional dimensional spaces?
The Riemann mapping theorem in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is known not to generalize well in higher dimensions and is basically trivial in lower dimensions.
I’m interested in how it generalizes for fractional ...

Riemann mapping theorem with smooth boundary
This is closely related to the question here. The setup is that $U\subset\mathbb{C}$ is an open bounded simply connected domain with $C^\infty$ boundary. If $\phi:U\rightarrow\mathbb{D}$ is a ...

Conformal diffeomorphism of $\mathbb R^k$
Let $f$ be a conformal diffeomorphism between $\mathbb{R}^k$, where $k\geq 2$, and its Euclidean metric. It follows from complex analysis and Liouville's theorem that $f$ can only be affine. Now, ...

Numerically compute the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping to the square
I want to map the upper-half plane $$\mathbb H:=\{z\in\mathbb C:\Im(z)>0\}$$ to $[0,1)^2$ by a conformal map. If I got this right, then such a mapping is given by the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping to ...

How do we solve this rather simple ODE (Loewner equation with driving function $\sqrt t$)?
Remember the following result for the Loewner equation:
If $\lambda:[0,\infty)\to\mathbb R$ is continuous, then for all $z\in\mathbb C\setminus\{\lambda(0)\}$ there is a uniqe $\zeta(z)\in(0,\infty]$ ...

Is there a non-trivial, exact analytic (symbolic) conformal map from some polygon to some rectangle?
I'm looking for any example of a conformal map $m: P \to Q$ where $P$ is some polygon of at least $4$ sides, $Q$ is a rectangle, and and $m$ is not linear (so $P$ and $Q$ are not merely scaled, ...

On Sobolev's inequality for weakly conformal maps
Suppose $u\in W^{2,p}(B^2,\mathbb{R}^n)$, $1<p<2$, is weakly conformal, that is
$$|u_x|=|u_y|,\quad u_x\cdot u_y=0$$
for almost every $(x,y)\in B^2$. Here $B^2$ is the unit open ball in $\mathbb{...

Gehring Lemma in dimension 2
In Iwaniec's paper presenting the Gehring Lemma, the embedding used is $W^{1,p}\hookrightarrow L^2$ with $p=\frac{2d}{d+2}$.
Question. What about dimension 2: can we actually go down to $p=1$?
