    Injectivity Criteria for Holomorphic Curves in Cn
    (2011) Chuaqui, M.; Duren, P.; Osgood, B.
    Combining the definition of Schwarzian derivative for conformal mappings between Riemannian manifolds given by Osgood and Stowe with that for parametrized curves in Euclidean space given by Ahlfors, we establish injectivity criteria for holomorphic curves phi : D -> C-n. The result can be considered a generalization of a classical condition for univalence of Nehari.

    Univalence criteria for lifts of harmonic mappings to minimal surfaces
    (2007) Chuaqui, M.; Duren, R.; Osgood, B.
    A general criterion in terms of the Schwarzian derivative is given for global univalence of the Weierstrass-Enneper lift of a planar harmonic mapping. Results on distortion and boundary regularity are also deduced. Examples are given to show that the criterion is sharp. The analysis depends on a generalized Schwarzian defined for conformal metrics and on a Schwarzian introduced by Ahlfors for curves. Convexity plays a central role.

    Univalent harmonic mappings and linearly connected domains
    (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2007) Chuaqui, M.; Hernandez, R.
    We investigate the relationship between the univalence of f and of h in the decomposition f = h + (g) over bar of a serise-preserving harmonic mapping defined in the unit disk D subset of C. Among other results, we determine the holomorphic univalent maps It for which there exists c > 0 such that every harmonic mapping of the form f = h + (g) over bar with vertical bar g'vertical bar < c vertical bar h'vertical bar is univalent. The notion of a linearly connected domain appears in our study in a relevant way. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
