Schwarzian norms and two-point distortion

Martin Chuaqui, Peter Duren, William Ma, Diego Mejía, David Minda and Brad Osgood

Vol. 254 (2011), No. 1, 101–116
Abstract

An analytic function f with Schwarzian norm ∥𝒮f∥≤ 2(1 + δ2) is shown to satisfy a pair of two-point distortion conditions, one giving a lower bound and the other an upper bound for the deviation. Conversely, each of these conditions is found to imply that ∥𝒮f∥≤ 2(1 + δ2). Analogues of the lower bound are also developed for curves in n and for canonical lifts of harmonic mappings to minimal surfaces.
