Explicit disk map of a slit half disk

ID: explicit-disk-map-of-a-slit-half-disk

For the upper half disk slit along , , squaring maps onto minus . After scaling the radius-four disc, the disk automorphism sends this slit to . Its square root with argument in maps onto the upper half unit disc. There maps bijectively onto the lower half-plane: its imaginary part is , and the two roots of its inverse equation are reciprocal, with exactly one inside the unit circle. The final Möbius map gives the displayed conformal disk bijection.
