Shears for quasisymmetric maps
Preprint
Abstract
We give an elementary proof of a theorem that characterizes quasisymmetric maps of the unit circle in terms of shear coordinates on the Farey tesselation. The proof only uses the normal family argument for quasisymmetric maps and some elementary hyperbolic geometry.Keywords
