Abstract We consider analytic functions f satisfying f  (z) = 0 in the unit disk D and norms of the Bloch and Dirichlet type, namely    1     2  f  (z) 2  f (z)   dxdy  (∗) sup (1 − |z| )    , (∗∗) .    f (z) D f (z) 2

In particular, we study the range of values of f for the norm (*) and the univalence of f for the norm (**). Keywords

1 Introduction In some aspects, the present paper is a continuation of the paper [4]. Section 3 revolves around the well-known expression (1 − |z|2 )| f  (z)/ f  (z)|.

What can we derive from the knowledge of bounds for this expression? Section 4 deals with the area integral in (1.4). What bounds on this integral imply that f is univalent? For a function g analytic in the unit disk D, the Bloch norm is defined by gB := sup(1 − |z|2 )|g  (z)|

 n where we have written g(z) = ∞ n=0 bn z , see e.g. [5, p. 447], [6]. Our usage of the word “norm” is not quite correct, it should be “seminorm” because, for instance in (1.1), the additive term |g(0)| is missing. The analytic function f is called locally univalent in the unit disk D if f  (z) = 0 for z ∈ D. We will mainly consider the case that g = log f  for locally univalent functions f . Then, (1.1) and (1.2) become     f (z)  (1.3)  log f  B = sup (1 − |z|2 )    , f (z) z∈D

2 Some Basic Relations The facts in this section are well known with exception perhaps of Lemma 2.3. Lemma 2.1 Let f and ϕ be locally univalent in D and let ϕ(D) ⊂ D. Then,     f (ϕ(z))   +  log ϕ  B   log( f ◦ ϕ) B ≤ sup (1 − |ϕ(z)| )   f (ϕ(z))  z∈D

≤  log f  B +  log ϕ  B .

(2.1)

Proof Since (1 − |z|2 )|ϕ  (z)| ≤ 1 − |ϕ(z)|2 , we have (1 − |z|2 )|

      f  (ϕ    d  + (1 − |z|2 )  ϕ  log( f ◦ ϕ) | ≤ (1 − |z|2 ) ϕ     ϕ  dz f (ϕ)        f (ϕ)     + (1 − |z|2 )  ϕ  , ≤ (1 − |ϕ|2 )     ϕ  f (ϕ)

which implies (2.1) because of (1.3).

Lemma 2.2 If f is locally univalent in D then  log f  B ≤  log f  D .

(2.2)

Proof Again we write g = log f  and obtain from (1.2) and the Schwarz inequality that 2   2  ∞ ∞ ∞     f (z)   n−1  2  =  nb z ≤ n|b | n|z|2(n−1)  n n  f  (z)    n=1
