At the end of 1960's, Lawrence Zalcman posed a conjecture that the coefficients of univalent functions $f(z) = z + \sum\limits_2^\infty a_n z^n$ on the unit disk satisfy the sharp inequality $|a_n^2 - a_{2n-1}| \le (n-1)^2$, with equality…

Using the Bers isomorphism theorem for Teichmuller spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces and some of their other complex geometric features, we prove a general theorem on maximization of homogeneous polynomial (in fact, more general…

Function $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} a_n z^n$, normalized, analytic and univalent in the unit disk $\mathbb D=\{z:|z|<1\}$, belongs to the class $\mathcal{U}$. if, and only if, \[ \left| \left(\frac{z}{f(z)}\right)^2 -1\right|<1 \quad\quad…

We show, using the Kobayashi and Caratheodory metrics on special holomorphic disks in the universal Teichmuller space, that a wide class of holomorphic functionals on the space of univalent functions in the disk is maximized by the Koebe…

We consider certain subfamilies, of the family of univalent functions in the open unit disk, defined by means of sufficient coefficient conditions for univalency. This article is devoted to studying the problem of the well-known conjecture…

The Bieberbach estimate, a pivotal result in the classical theory of univalent functions, states that any injective holomorphic function $f$ on the open unit disc $D$ satisfies $|f"(0)|\leq 4 |f'(0)|$. We generalize the Bieberbach estimate…

For univalent and normalized functions $f$ the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n(f)$ are determined by the formula $\log(f(z)/z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}2\gamma_n(f)z^n$. In the paper \cite{Pon} the authors posed the conjecture that a locally…

We show that complex geometric features of Teichmuller spaces create explicitly the extremals of generic homogeneous holomorphic functionals on univalent functions. In particular this gives proofs of the well-known Zalcman and Bieberbach…

Let $\mathcal S$ denote the class of all functions of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ which are analytic and univalent in the open unit disk $\ID$ and, for $\lambda >0$, let $\Phi_\lambda (n,f)=\lambda a_n^2-a_{2n-1}$ denote the…

The purpose of this paper is to make an introduction to univalent function theory for readers of any level, assuming only foundational knowledge in real and complex analysis. In particular, we state and proof (with details) important…

Generalizing the Zalcman conjecture given by $\vert a_n^2 - a_{2n-1}\vert \leq (n-1)^2$, Ma proposed and proved that the inequality $$\vert a_n a_m-a_{n+m-1}\vert \leq (n-1)(m-1), \quad m,n \in \mathbb{N},$$ holds for functions…

The goal of this paper is to prove the conjecture of Krzyz posed in 1968 that for nonvanishing holomorphic functions $f(z) = c_0 + c_1 z + ...$ in the unit disk with $|f(z)| \le 1$, we have the sharp bound $|c_n| \le 2/e$ for all $n \ge 1$,…

Let function $f$ be normalized, analytic and univalent in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$ and $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} a_n z^n$. Using a method based on Grusky coefficients we study several problems over that class of univalent…
