Tangent-circle crescent conformal map

ID: tangent-circle-crescent-conformal-map

For the crescent inside and outside , inversion gives the horizontal strip . The affine map sends it to , and maps it bijectively onto the upper half-plane. A Cayley transform then maps it onto the unit disc. Tangency, rather than a separate enclosed hole, is why this domain is simply connected.
