Question<br />

Is the stretch map fk extremal for the maximal distortion within F?<br />

Proposition<br />

The stretch map fk is extremal for the maximal distortion in the class F0<br />

of C 1 orientation- and sphere-preserving maps g ∈ F which map the t-axis<br />

to the t-axis, i.e., Kfk ≤ Kg for all g ∈ F0.<br />

Proof idea: write contact transformation g ∈ F0 in logarithmic<br />

coordinates. Sphere-preserving: Ξ = Ξ(ξ), apply MVT: ∃ξ0 with<br />

Ξξ(ξ0) = k. Formula for distortion. Find p0 with K(p0, g) ≥ Kfk .<br />
