Abstract
The authors mainly concern the set U f of c ∈ ℂ such that the power deformation \( z(\frac{{f(z)}} {z})^c \) is univalent in the unit disk |z| < 1 for a given analytic univalent function f(z) = z + a 2 z 2 + … in the unit disk. It is shown that U f is a compact, polynomially convex subset of the complex plane ℂ unless f is the identity function. In particular, the interior of U f is simply connected. This fact enables us to apply various versions of the λ-lemma for the holomorphic family \( z(\frac{{f(z)}} {z})^c \) of injections parametrized over the interior of U f . The necessary or sufficient conditions for U f to contain 0 or 1 as an interior point are also given.
