A Komatu-Loewner Equation for Multiple Slits

Complex Variables 2014-05-13 v1

Abstract

We give a generalization of the Komatu-Loewner equation to multiple slits. Therefore, we consider an nn-connected circular slit disk Ω\Omega as our initial domain minus mNm\in \mathbb{N} disjoint, simple and continuous curves that grow from the outer boundary D\partial \mathbb{D} of Ω\Omega into the interior. Consequently we get a decreasing family (Ωt)t[0,T](\Omega_t)_{t\in[0,T]} of domains with Ω0=Ω\Omega_0=\Omega. We will prove that the corresponding Riemann mapping functions gtg_t from Ωt\Omega_t onto a circular slit disk, which are normalized by gt(0)=0g_t(0)=0 and gt(0)>0g_t'(0)>0, satisfy a Loewner equation known as the Komatu-Loewner equation.
