Abstract. Let B be the unit ball of C n with respect to an arbitrary norm. We prove that the analog of the Carathéodory set, i.e. the set of normalized holomorphic mappings from B into C n of "positive real part", is compact. This leads to improvements in the existence theorems for the Loewner differential equation in several complex variables. We investigate a subset of the normalized biholomorphic mappings of B which arises in the study of the Loewner equation, namely the set S 0 (B) of mappings which have parametric representation. For the case of the unit polydisc these mappings were studied by Poreda, and on the Euclidean unit ball they were studied by Kohr. As in Kohr's work, we consider subsets of S 0 (B) obtained by placing restrictions on the mapping from the Carathéodory set which occurs in the Loewner equation. We obtain growth and covering theorems for these subsets of S 0 (B) as well as coefficient estimates, and consider various examples. Also we shall see that in higher dimensions there exist mappings in S(B) which can be imbedded in Loewner chains, but which do not have parametric representation.
In this paper, we define the notion of asymptotic spirallikeness (a generalization of asymptotic starlikeness) in the Euclidean space C n . We consider the connection between this notion and univalent subordination chains. We introduce the notions of A-asymptotic spirallikeness and A-parametric represen-, then a mapping f ∈ S(B n ) is Aasymptotically spirallike if and only if f has A-parametric representation, i.e., if and only if there exists a univalent subordination chain f (z, t) such that Df (0, t) = e At , {e −At f (·, t)} t≥0 is a normal family on B n and f = f (·, 0). In particular, a spirallike mapping with respect to A ∈ L(C n , C n ) with ∞ 0 e (A−2m(A)In )t dt < ∞ has A-parametric representation. We also prove that if f is a spirallike mapping with respect to an operator A such that A + A * = 2In, then f has parametric representation (i.e., with respect to the identity). Finally, we obtain some examples of asymptotically spirallike mappings.
We present a new geometric construction of Loewner chains in one and several complex variables which holds on complete hyperbolic complex manifolds and prove that there is essentially a one-to-one correspondence between evolution families of order d and Loewner chains of the same order. As a consequence, we obtain a univalent solution (f (t) : M -> N) of any Loewner-Kufarev PDE. The problem of finding solutions given by univalent mappings (f (t) : M -> a", (n) ) is reduced to investigating whether the complex manifold a(a) (ta parts per thousand yen0) f (t) (M) is biholomorphic to a domain in a", (n) . We apply such results to the study of univalent mappings f: B (n) -> a", (n)
We generalize a one-variable result of J. Becker to several complex variables. We determine the form of arbitrary solutions of the Loewner differential equation that is satisfied by univalent subordination chains of the form(The notion of parametric representation has a useful generalization under these conditions, so that one has a canonical solution of the Loewner differential equation.) In particular, we determine the form of the univalent solutions. The results are applied to subordination chains generated by spirallike mappings on the unit ball in C n . Finally, we determine the form of the solutions in the presence of certain coefficient bounds. I.
