Boundary correspondence under quasiconformal harmonic diffeomorphisms of a half-plane. (English) Zbl 1071.30016
Let $$\mathbb{U}$$ denote the upper half-plane, $$\mathbb{U}= \{z= x+ iy\in\mathbb{C}: y> 0\}$$ and $$\overline{\mathbb{U}}$$ denote the closure of $$\mathbb{U}$$ in $$\overline{\mathbb{C}}= \mathbb{C}\cup\{\infty\}$$. By $$QC(\mathbb{U})$$ we denote the group of all quasiconformal homeomorphisms of $$\overline{\mathbb{U}}$$ onto itself fixing the point $$\infty$$.
In this paper among others the following results are proved:
Theorem 1. Let $$f= u+ iv$$ be a quasiconformal harmonic mapping of $$\mathbb{U}$$ into $$\mathbb{U}$$. Then the following assertions are equivalent.
(a) $$f\in QC(\mathbb{U})$$.
(b) There are positive constants $$c$$ and $$M$$ such that $$v(z)= cy$$, $$1/M\leq u_x\leq M$$ and $$|u_y|\leq M$$ for all $$z\in\mathbb{U}$$.
(c) $$f$$ is a bi-Lipschitz mapping of $$\mathbb{U}$$ onto $$\mathbb{U}$$.
It is also proved that if $$f\in QC(\mathbb{U})$$ is harmonic then $$f$$ has a unique representation of the form $f(z)= 2\operatorname{Re}\,\int^z_i\varphi(\zeta)\,d\zeta+ b+ ic\operatorname{Im}(z),$ where $$b +ic$$ is a point in $$\mathbb{U}$$ and $$\varphi$$ is a holomorphic function on $$\mathbb{U}$$ such that $$\varphi(\mathbb{U})$$ is a relatively compact subset of the right half-plane $$H= \{z:\text{Re\,}z> 0\}$$.
