A compact H-hull is a bounded subset $A\subset \mathbb{H}$, closed relative to the complex upper half-plane, such that $\mathbb{H}\setminus A$ is a simply connected domain. The word compact refers to its bounded closure in $\overline{\mathbb{H}}$; a nonempty hull need not be a compact subset of the open half-plane.

The Riemann mapping theorem and normalization at infinity give a unique mapping-out function of a compact H-hull $g_A:\mathbb{H}\setminus A\to \mathbb{H}$ with $g_A(z)-z\to 0$ as $z\to \infty$. This hydrodynamic normalization at infinity yields a Laurent seriesThe coefficient is the half-plane capacity:
