Conformal equivalence of analytic functions on compact sets

Abstract

In this paper we present a geometric proof of the following fact. Let $D$ be a Jordan domain in $\mathbb{C}$, and let $f$ be analytic on $cl(D)$. Then there is an injective analytic map $\phi:D\to\mathbb{C}$, and a polynomial $p$, such that $f\equiv p\circ\phi$ on $D$ (that is, $f$ has a polynomial conformal model $p$).
