Pommerenke's integral conjecture for univalent meromorphic functions

At least 18 years old · documented by

Let Σ0\Sigma_0 be the class of univalent meromorphic functions FF in the exterior of the unit disk, normalized by F(z)=z+O(z−1)F(z)=z+O(z^{-1}) as z→∞z\to\infty. Let K=F(Bc)cK=F(\mathbb{B}^c)^c contain 00, and let F0(z)=z+z−1F_0(z)=z+z^{-1}. Pommerenke's conjecture.

12π∫−ππ∣F(eiθ)∣ dθ≤12π∫−ππ∣F0(eiθ)∣ dθ=4π.\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}|F(e^{i\theta})|\,d\theta\leq\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}|F_0(e^{i\theta})|\,d\theta=\frac{4}{\pi}.

The source reports the best known upper bound as 4.02/π4.02/\pi and asks whether it can be improved to 4/π4/\pi; hence the conjecture remains open there.
