Abstract

A measurable function μ\mu on the unit disk D\mathbb{D} of the complex plane with μ<1\|\mu\|_\infty<1 is sometimes called a Beltrami coefficient. We say that μ\mu is trivial if it is the complex dilatation fzˉ/fzf_{\bar z}/f_z of a quasiconformal automorphism ff of D\mathbb{D} satisfying the trivial boundary condition f(z)=z, z=1.f(z)=z,~|z|=1. Since it is not easy to solve the Beltrami equation explicitly, to detect triviality of a given Beltrami coefficient is a hard problem, in general. In the present article, we offer a sufficient condition for a Beltrami coefficient to be trivial. Our proof is based on Betker's theorem on L\"owner chains.
