Abstract

For a simply connected domain GG, let aG\partial_{a}G be the set of accessible points in G\partial G and let nG=GaG\partial_{n} G=\partial G-\partial_{a}G. A point aGa\in\partial G is called semi-unreachable if there is a crosscut JJ of GG and domains UU and VV such that GJ=UVG-J=U\cup V and a(nUnV)Ja\in(\partial_{n} U\cup\partial_{n} V)-J. We use snG\partial_{sn}G to denote the set of semi-unreachable points. In this article we show that a univalent analytic function ψ\psi from the unit disk DD onto GG extends continuously to D\overline D if and only if snG=\partial_{sn}G=\emptyset. As a consequence, we provide a very short and elementary proof for the Osgood conjecture: if GG is a Jordan domain, then ψ1\psi^{-1}, the Riemann map, extends to be a homeomorphism from G\overline G to D\overline D.
