Heinz inequality for the unit ball

Analysis of PDEs 2015-05-19 v2

Abstract

We first prove the following generalization of Schwarz lemma for harmonic mappings. Let uu be a harmonic mapping of the unit ball onto itself. Then we prove the inequality u(x)(1x2)/(1+x2)n/2u(0)U(xN)\|u(x)-(1-\|x\|^2)/(1+\|x\|^2)^{n/2} u(0)\|\le U(|x| N). By using the Schwarz lemma for harmonic mappings we derive Heinz inequality on the boundary of the unit ball by providing a sharp constant CnC_n in the inequality: ru(rη)r=1Cn\|\partial_r u(r\eta)\|_{r=1}\ge C_n, η=1\|\eta\|=1, for every harmonic mapping of the unit ball into itself satisfying the condition u(0)=0u(0)=0, u(η)=1\|u(\eta)\|=1.
