Complex Analysis/Automorphisms of the Unit Disk

From Wikiversity

The goal of this article is to characterize all biholomorphic mappings . We aim to prove:

Theorem

[edit | edit source]

Let be an automorphism. Then there exists a and a with such that

The unit disk
Its image under für und

Conversely, all such mappings are automorphisms of . Before proving the theorem, we note an important corollary:

Corollary

[edit | edit source]

Let . Then there is exactly one automorphism of such that and .

Proof of the Corollary

[edit | edit source]

Uniqueness: If and are two such automorphisms, consider . Then . By the theorem, there exists and such that

we have:

so .Furthermore:

so , and hence , d. h. .

  • Existence: Define by
    z_0 \in \mathbb D</math>, und . Then is holomorphic, and since

and , we have . To show that is an automorphism, we prove that is invertible and its inverse is of the same form. From

we see that is of the same form, completing the proof. Step 2: Characterizing all automorphisms

To prove that every automorphism is of the claimed form, consider the special case . By the Schwarz's Lemma, we have for all . Applying the Schwarz Lemma to , we similarly obtain , so for all . The Schwarz Lemma then implies that is a rotation, i.e.also, for some .

Now let . Define . From the above, is an automorphism. Then is an automorphism of with , so for some . From the calculations above,

Setting , we obtain the claim.
