Abstract

In this paper we present a geometric proof of the following fact: Let D be a Jordan domain in \(\mathbb {C}\), and let f be analytic on cl(D). Then there is an injective analytic map \(\phi :D\rightarrow \mathbb {C}\), and a polynomial p, such that \(f\equiv p\circ \phi \) on D (that is, f has a polynomial conformal model p).
