In this paper, using the
Bergman kernel function KD(z,z), we give necessary and sufficient conditions that a
pseudoconformal mapping f(z) be starlike or convex in some bounded schlicht
domain D for which the kernel function KD(z,z) becomes infinitely large when the
point z ∈ D approaches the boundary of D in any way. We also consider
starlike and convex mappings from the polydisk or unit hypersphere into
Cn.
