Relation between a graph and the unit disk

71 Views Asked by At

It is well-known that $$\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac{\mathrm{d}x}{1+x^2}=\pi$$

Since $\pi$ is also the area of the unit disk, there may exist an area-preserving mapping between the unit disk and

$$D=\left\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^2, 0 \leq y\leq \frac{1}{1+x^2}\right\}$$

What I mean by "area-preserving" is that for any measurable $C$ set of $D$, $C$ and its image in the disk have the same area.

I have two questions :

  1. Does there exist one such mapping ?
  2. If so, can we find an explicit expression ?
