The Grunsky operator and quasiconformality: old and new

Samuel L. Krushkal

The Grunsky operator arises from univalence and plays a crucial role in geometric function theory. This operator also implies quasiconformal extendibility and has an intrinsic conn…

Teichmuller balls and biunivalent holomorphic functions

Samuel L. Krushkal

Biunivalent holomorphic functions form an interesting class in geometric function theory and are connected with special functions and solutions of complex differential equations. T…

All Teichmuller spaces are not starlike

Samuel L. Krushkal

This paper is the final step in solving the problem of starlikeness of Teichmuller spaces in Bers' embedding. This step concerns the case of finite dimensional Teichmuller spaces $…

Polygons and non-starlikeness of Teichmuller spaces

Samuel L. Krushkal

The problem of starlikeness of Teichmuller spaces in Bers' embedding was raised in 1974 and is solved (negatively) for Teichmuller spaces of sufficiently large dimensions. The orig…

Quantitative theory of reflections across quasiconformal polygonal lines

Samuel L. Krushkal

The paper continues the author's research in the problem of quantitative investigation of basic curvelinear quasiinvariants of quasiconformal curves. It concerns polygons with infi…

The Grunsky norm of univalent functions and abelian holomorphic differentials

Samuel L. Krushkal

We establish that the Grunsky norm of any normalized univalent function on the disk is completely determined by the squares of holomorphic abelian differentials (in contrast to the…

A question of Kuhnau

Samuel L. Krushkal

It is well known that the square is not a Strebel's point (i.e., its extremal Beltrami coefficient is not Teichmuller). Many years ago, Reiner Kuhnau posed the question: does there…
