Classification of conformally equivalent annuli via periods

525 Views Asked by At

How does one define the periods that appear in this question and show they are conformally equivalent? Are the details worked out in a textbook somewhere?

Presumably we do something like take the harmonic function that's zero on the inner circle, 1 on the outer circle, find the multivalued harmonic conjugate, and integrate the resulting multi-valued analytic function around a path that loops around the interior circle once. But it's been a while since I've done complex analysis and I get a little nervous when multi-valued functions start popping up. A formal reference (or write-up) would be very much appreciated.

It seems details can be found in Nehari's Conformal Mapping, Chapter 1, section 9.

Perhaps a better reference is Chapter 6, section 5 of Ahlfors' Complex Analysis.
