Abstract:
Let $f$ be a locally univalent meromorphic function in the unit disk $\Delta$. Recently, Epstein obtained a differential geometric proof for the fact that if $f$ satisfies an inequality involving a suitable real-valued function $\sigma$, then $f$ is univalent in $\Delta$ and has a quasiconformal extension to the sphere. We give a more classical proof for this result by means of an explicit quasiconformal extension, and obtain generalizations of the result under suitable conditions even if $\sigma$ is allowed to be complex-valued and $\Delta$ is replaced by a quasidisk.References
