Abstract:

A number of classical results reflect the fact that if a holomorphic function maps the unit disk into itself, taking the origin into the origin, and if some boundary point $b$ maps to the boundary, then the map is a magnification at $b$. We prove a sharp quantitative version of this result which also sharpens a classical result of Loewner.
