(Solved): 3. The pseudo-hyperbolic distance between two points z,wD is defined by (z,w)=1w ...
3. The pseudo-hyperbolic distance between two points z,w?D is defined by ?(z,w)=???1?w?zz?w????. (a) Prove that if f:D?D is holomorphic, then ?(f(z),f(w))??(z,w) for all z,w?D. Moreover, prove that if f is an automorphism of D then f preserves the pseudo-hyperbolic distance ?(f(z),f(w))=?(z,w) for all z,w?D. [Hint: Consider the automorphism ???(z)=(z??)/(1???z) and apply the Schwarz lemma to ?f(w)??f??w?1?.] (b) Prove that 1??f(z)?2?f?(z)???1??z?21? for all z?D. This result is called the Schwarz-Pick lemma. See Problem 3 for an important application of this lemma.
