if < X,Y >≠ 0 then we have<br />

| AX |<br />

if < X,Y >= 0 and X ≠ 0 and Y ≠ 0<br />

Let Z = X+Y<br />

2<br />

< X,Z >≠ 0 and < Y,Z >≠ 0<br />

and from (II.5) we deduce<br />

(II.6)<br />

Hence (II.6) holds for any pair of vectors in R m \{0} and since<br />

A ≠ 0<br />

|X|<br />

This implies (II.4) .<br />

It is clear that (II.4) implies (II.3) and we have proved then<br />

or the antiholomorphic maps from a domain C C into C. This<br />

characterizes uniquely the conformal transformations from a 2-<br />

dimentional domain of C into C. We have indeed the following<br />

result.<br />

Proposition II.1. Let u be a C 1 map from a connected domain<br />

U of C into C. U is conformal if and only if on U one has<br />
