We refer to a region £2 of the extended z-plane as a (parallel) slit domain if =o £Í2, and if the components of the boundary, dß, are either points, or segments ("slits") parallel to a common line, which without loss of generality will be assumed to be the y-axis 'z = x-\-iy). It was originally conjectured by Koebe that if two slit domains ßi and Í22 are conformally equivalent, that is, if t...
