On Simply Connected Domains Supporting an Unbounded Analytic Function with Bounded Derivative

Abstract

In this paper we provide a geometric characterization of simply connected domains in the complex plane supporting an unbounded analytic function with bounded derivative, providing a partial answer to Problem 1.45 in the Hayman List. For a given simply connected domain this characterization is achieved by estimating above and below the norms of certain evaluation functionals on a suitable Banach space of analytic functions on that domain by geometric quantities.
