Abstract We consider the convolution of right half-plane harmonic mappings in the unit disk D := {z ∈ C : |z| < 1} with respective dilatations eiα (z + a)/(1 + az) and −z, where −1 < a < 1 and α ∈ R. We prove that such convolutions are locally univalent and convex in the horizontal direction under certain condition.

1 Introduction and notation Harmonic mapping techniques have been used to study and solve fluid flow problems (see [1]). In 2012, Aleman and Constantin [1] provided a nice connection between geometric function theory and fluid dynamics. They provided a method of solving

the incompressible two dimensional Euler equations by means of univalent harmonic maps. In 2017, using harmonic mappings properties, Constantin and Martin [4] obtained a complete solution of classifying all two dimensionall fluid flows. A complex-valued function f = u + iv defined on a simply connected domain  ⊆ C is harmonic, if both u and v are real-valued harmonic functions in . Let H denote the class of complex-valued harmonic functions f in the unit disk D := {z ∈ C : |z| < 1}, normalized by f (0) = 0 = f z (0) − 1. Each function f in H can be expressed as f = h + g, where h and g are analytic functions in D with the following series representations h(z) = z +

We call h and g the analytic and co-analytic parts of f respectively. By Lewy’s theorem [11], f ∈ H is locally univalent and sense-preserving if, and only if, J f (z) > 0 in D, where J f (z) = |h  (z)|2 − |g  (z)|2 denotes the Jacobian of f . We note that J f (z) > 0 in D is equivalent to the existence of an analytic function ω, called the dilatation of f , given by ω(z) = g  (z)/h  (z), with |ω(z)| < 1 for all z ∈ D, and where h  (z) = 0 in D. Let SH be the subclass of H consisting of univalent i.e., one-to-one and sense0 = { f ∈ S : f (0) = 0}. Hence for preserving harmonic mappings on D, and SH z H 0 any function f = h + g in SH , its analytic and co-analytic parts can be represented by h(z) = z +
