Abstract

Let f ⁣:RRf\colon \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be a continuous function. We define the graph welding associated with ff as the homeomorphism φ=G1F ⁣:RR. \varphi = G^{-1}\circ F\colon \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}. Here, F(x)=x+if(x)F(x)=x+if(x) parametrizes the graph of ff, and GG is a conformal mapping from the upper half-plane H\mathbb{H} onto one of the two domains bounded by the graph of ff, admitting a continuous extension to R\mathbb{R}. In this paper, we investigate how the regularity of the graph function ff influences the analytic properties of the associated graph welding φ\varphi. In particular, under certain assumptions that ff within Zygmund, BMO\mathrm{BMO}, VMO\mathrm{VMO}, and Hardy spaces, we establish results on absolute continuity, quasisymmetry, symmetry, strong quasisymmetry, strong symmetry, and the Weil--Petersson property of the associated graph welding φ\varphi. These results clarify the interplay between the regularity of graph functions, the geometry of graph curves, and the boundary behavior of conformal mappings.
