Let Ω be a hyperbolic domain in the complex plane
C, let ρ
Ω be the density of the Poincaré metric in Ω, and let β
Ω=1/ρ
Ω. For
g analytic in Ω we set ||
g||
Ω=sup β
Ω(
w)
|g(
w)
|,
w∈Ω. Let
S(Ω) be the family of functions
f analytic and univalent in Ω. Criteria in terms of the partial derivatives of β
Ω for Ω to satisfy sup ||
f''/
f'||
Ω<+∞, where
f ranges over
S(Ω), are given. For example, sup β
Ω(
w)
|(β
Ω)
ww(
w)
|<+∞,
w∈Ω. If
f∈
S(Ω) is isolated in the sense that there is an ε>0 such that 0<||
f''/
f'−
g''/
g'||
Ω<ε for no
g∈
S(Ω), then
C{\backslash}
f(Ω) is of zero area. The domain Ω is simply connected if sup β
Ω(
w)
|(β
Ω)
ww(
w)
|{≤}1,
w∈Ω, and Ω is convex (hence simply connected) if and only if sup |(β
Ω)
w(
w)|=1,
w∈Ω.
