Abstract

Let be the unit disk in the complex plane and denote by two-dimensional Lebesgue measure on . For we define arg . We prove that for every there exists a such that if is analytic, univalent and area-integrable on , and , then

. This problem arose in connection with a characterization by Hamilton, Reich and Strebel of extremal dilatations for quasiconformal homeomorphisms of .
