For a meromorphic function $f$ in the unit disk $U=\{z:\;|z|<1\}$ and arbitrary points $z_1,z_2$ in $U$ distinct from the poles of $f$, a sharp upper bound on the product $|f'(z_1)f'(z_2)|$ is established. Further, we prove a sharp…

Quantitative estimates are obtained for the (finite) valence of functions analytic in the unit disk with Schwarzian derivative that is bounded or of slow growth. A harmonic mapping is shown to be uniformly locally univalent with respect to…

We give sharp bounds for the hyperbolic curvature of the level curve $|z|=|f(z)|$, when $f:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{D}$ is holomorphic on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and $f(0)\neq0$, as well as for other related level curves. As a consequence,…

Let ${\mathcal S}$ be the class of analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$ with $f({\mathbb D}) \subset \overline{\mathbb D}$. Fix pairwise distinct points $z_1,\ldots,z_{n+1}\in \mathbb{D}$ and corresponding interpolation…

We obtain upper bounds for the norm of the Schwarzian derivative of convex holomorphic mappings defined on the polydisk and the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$. For coordinate-wise convex mappings on the polydisk, we derive a sharp estimate…

We characterize two classical types of conformality of a holomorphic self-map of the unit disk at a boundary point - existence of a finite angular derivative in the sense of Carath\'eodory and the weaker property of angle preservation - in…

The Schwarzian derivative provides a classical analytic measure of how far a holomorphic map of the disk is from being M\"obius, with Nehari's bounds giving sharp criteria for univalence. Independently, Thurston introduced a geometric…

Let $\varphi:\mathbb D \to \mathbb D$ be a parabolic self-map of the unit disc $\mathbb D$ having zero hyperbolic step. We study holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb D$ commuting with $\varphi$. In particular, we answer a question from Gentili…

For an infinitely renormalizable negative Schwarzian unimodal map $f$ with non-flat critical point, we analyze statistical properties of periodic points as the periods tend to infinity. Introducing a weight function $\varphi$ which is a…

For analytic functions in the unit disk, general bounds on the Schwarzian derivative in terms of Nehari functions are shown to imply uniform local univalence and in some cases finite and bounded valence. Similar results are obtained for the…

Hyperbolic geometry plays an important role within function theory of the disk. For example, via the Schwarz-Pick Lemma, the isometries of the unit disk $\mathbb D$ with respect to this geometry are the conformal self-maps of $\mathbb D$.…

For a nonconstant holomorphic map between projective Riemann surfaces with conformal metrics, we consider invariant Schwarzian derivatives and projective Schwarzian derivatives of general virtual order. We show that these two quantities are…

The celebrated Schwarz-Pick lemma for the complex unit disk is the basis for the study of hyperbolic geometry in one and in several complex variables. In the present paper, we turn our attention to the quaternionic unit ball B. We prove a…

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for a meromorphic quadratic differential with prescribed poles to be the Schwarzian derivative of a rational map. We give geometric interpretations of these conditions. We also study the…

A dominant rational self-map on a projective variety is called $p$-cohomologically hyperbolic if the $p$-th dynamical degree is strictly larger than other dynamical degrees. For such a map defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, we study…

Let $u$ be a holomorphic function and $\varphi$ a holomorphic self-map of the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ in the complex plane. We give some new characterizations for the boundedness of the weighted composition operators $uC_{\varphi}$ from…
