Abstract

Generalized sine and cosine functions, sinn\sin_{n} and cosn\cos_{n}, that parametrize the generalized unit circle xn+yn=1x^n+y^n=1 are, much like their classical circular counterparts, extendable as complex analytic functions. In this article, we identify the natural domain on which sinn\sin_{n} is a conformal equivalence from a polygon to the complex plane with nn slits. We also give some geometric and analytic applications.
