A conformal automorphism of the upper half-plane is a real Möbius transformation
with coefficients determined up to a common nonzero factor. The boundary interval is the oriented real boundary arc from infinity to , namely the finite real interval . The map must take the left endpoint to infinity and the right endpoint infinity to , while fixing zero. These three boundary values determine the Möbius transformation uniquely:
Its determinant is positive, , and on its derivative is . Its endpoint limits are at and at , so it has exactly the required boundary extension.
