A Bloch-Landau Theorem for slice regular functions
Abstract
The Bloch-Landau Theorem is one of the basic results in the geometric theory of holomorphic functions. It establishes that the image of the open unit disc under a holomorphic function (such that and ) always contains an open disc with radius larger than a universal constant. In this paper we prove a Bloch-Landau type Theorem for slice regular functions over the skew field of quaternions. If is a regular function on the open unit ball , then for every we define the regular translation of . The peculiarities of the non commutative setting lead to the following statement: there exists a universal open set contained in the image of through some regular translation of any slice regular function (such that and ). For technical reasons, we introduce a new norm on the space of regular functions on open balls centred at the origin, equivalent to the uniform norm, and we investigate its properties.
