Lengths of radii under conformal maps of the unit disc

1999

If E f ( R ) E_{f}(R) is the set of endpoints of radii which have length greater than or equal to R > 0 R>0 under a conformal map f f of the unit disc, then cap ⁡ E f ( R ) = O ( R − 1 / 2 ) \operatorname {cap} E_{f}(R)=O(R^{-1/2}) as R → ∞ R\to \infty for the logarithmic capacity of E f ( R ) E_{f}(R) . The exponent − 1 / 2 -1/2 is sharp.
