Abstract

Assume that (N,)(\mathcal{N},\hbar) and (M,)(\mathcal{M},\wp) are two Riemann surfaces with conformal metrics \hbar and \wp. We prove that if there is a harmonic homeomorphism between an annulus AN\mathcal{A}\subset \mathcal{N} with a conformal modulus Mod(A)\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{A}) and a geodesic annulus A(p,ρ1,ρ2)MA_\wp(p,\rho_1,\rho_2)\subset \mathcal{M}, then we have ρ2/ρ1ΨMod(A)2+1,{\rho_2}/{\rho_1}\ge \Psi_\wp\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{A})^2+1, where Ψ\Psi_\wp is a certain positive constant depending on the upper bound of Gaussian curvature of the metric \wp. An application for the minimal surfaces is given.
