A self-duality of strong starlikeness

Abstract

In this note, we will show that a simply connected bounded domain $D$ is strongly starlike of order $\alpha<1$ if and only if so is $D^\vee,$ where $D^v$ is the analytic inversion of the exterior of $D,$ namely, $D^v=\{w\in\mathbb{C}:\, 1/w\in\widehat{\mathbb{C}} \setminus\bar D\}.$ This fact neatly explains the relationship between some known properties of strongly starlike domains and provides several new characterizations for those domains.
