Abstract

Let F(eis) denote a homeomorphism of the positively oriented unit circle onto a convex curve Γ and let f (eit) = F(eiΦ(t)), where Φ(t) is a non-decreasing function such that Φ(2π) – Φ(0) ≤ 2πN (N a positive integer). If f (eit) has Fourier coefficients cn, we show that is either constant or an N -valent analytic function in {|z| < 1}. We prove that where d is the distance from 0 to Γ and δ(N) > 0 depends only on N. This settles affirmatively a conjecture of H. S. Shapiro.
