The Schwarz--Christoffel formula on the unit disc #
The disc form of the Schwarz--Christoffel formula writes a conformal map of the open unit disc onto a polygon as
f ζ = A * ∫₀^ζ ∏ i, (1 - ξ / w i) ^ e i dξ + B,
with prevertices w i on the unit circle and turning exponents e i, the interior angle at the
corresponding vertex being (e i + 1) * π. This file defines the integrand and its primitive
normalized at the centre of the disc, and relates them to the upper-half-plane form of
TauCeti.schwarzChristoffelPrimitive through the inverse Cayley transform
ζ ↦ i (1 + ζ) / (1 - ζ).
On the open disc each factor 1 - ζ / w i has positive real part, so the principal powers are
holomorphic and nowhere zero, and the logarithmic derivative of the integrand is
∑ i, e i / (ζ - w i). Composing a half-plane Schwarz--Christoffel map with the inverse Cayley
transform turns the pre-Schwarzian ∑ i, e i / (z - a i) into
∑ i, e i / (ζ - w i) + (∑ i, e i + 2) / (1 - ζ), where w i is the Cayley image
(a i - i) / (a i + i) of the prevertex a i. The spurious pole at 1, the image of ∞,
disappears when the turning exponents sum to -2, which is the closing condition of a bounded
polygon. Under that condition the two forms of the formula differ by an affine map, so
every half-plane Schwarz--Christoffel representation of a domain yields a disc representation,
with the prevertex limits carried along. Without the closing condition, the pole is retained as
an additional prevertex at 1, with exponent -∑ i, e i - 2. This gives the disc form for
unbounded polygons as well, including divergence at their vertex at infinity.

The disc Schwarz--Christoffel integrand with prevertices w i on the unit circle and
turning exponents e i, namely ∏ i, (1 - ζ / w i) ^ e i with principal powers. For a polygon
with interior angle α i at the vertex corresponding to w i, the classical choice is
e i = α i / π - 1; the definition itself imposes no condition on the exponents.

With every turning exponent zero, the disc Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is constant one.

The disc Schwarz--Christoffel integrand has no zero in the open unit disc.
The logarithmic derivative of the disc Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is the sum of the simple

The normalized disc Schwarz--Christoffel primitive: the integral of
schwarzChristoffelDiscIntegrand w e from the centre 0 of the disc to ζ, along a horizontal
segment followed by a vertical one. The definition is total on ℂ, but its analytic
interpretation is asserted on the open unit disc.

Comparison with the upper-half-plane form #
Cayley transport with a prevertex at infinity. For arbitrary real exponents, the
half-plane primitive in disc coordinates equals the disc primitive with the finite Cayley
prevertices and an additional prevertex 1 of exponent -∑ i, e i - 2, up to explicit affine
constants. For an unbounded polygon with sector opening β * π at infinity, that exponent is
-β - 1. No closing or angle restriction is required for this analytic identity.
Disc transport including the point at infinity. A half-plane Schwarz--Christoffel
bijection gives a disc Schwarz--Christoffel bijection after adding the prevertex 1 with
exponent -∑ i, e i - 2. Finite boundary limits pass to their Cayley prevertices, and divergence
at infinity passes to divergence at 1.
