The Holomorphic Contractibility of two Generalized TeichmÜller Spaces


Clifford_J. Earle


We show by simple explicit constructions that the Teichmüller spaces $T_0(\Delta)$ and $T_0(\Delta\smallsetminus\{0\})$ are holomorphically contractible. We also call attention to a useful criterion for a map between domains in complex Banach spaces to be holomorphic.
