Complex Variables 2019-12-09 v1

Abstract

Let the function φ\varphi be holomorphic in the unit disk D\mathbb{D} of the complex plane C\mathbb{C} and let φ(D)D\varphi (\mathbb{D})\subset \mathbb{D}. We study the level sets and the critical points of the hyperbolic derivative of φ\varphi, Dφ(z):=(1z2)φ(z)1φ(z)2.|D_{\varphi}(z)|:=\frac{(1-|z|^2)|\varphi'(z)|}{1-|\varphi(z)|^2}. In particular, we show how the Schwarzian derivative of φ\varphi reveals the nature of the critical points.
