Condenser capacity and hyperbolic diameter


Abstract in English

Given a compact connected set $E$ in the unit disk $mathbb{B}^2$, we give a new upper bound for the conformal capacity of the condenser $(mathbb{B}^2, E),$ in terms of the hyperbolic diameter $t$ of $E$. Moreover, for $t>0$ we construct a set of diameter $t$ and show by numerical computation that it has larger capacity than a hyperbolic disk with the same diameter. The set we construct is of constant hyperbolic width equal to $t$, the so called hyperbolic Reuleaux triangle.
