On L1L^1-estimates of derivatives of univalent rational functions

We study the growth of the quantity $\int_{\mathbb{T}}|R'(z)|\,dm(z)$ for rational functions $R$ of degree $n$, which are bounded and univalent in the unit disk, and prove that this quantity may grow as $n^\gamma$, $\gamma>0$, when $n\to\infty$. Some applications of this result to problems of regularity of boundaries of Nevanlinna domains are considered. We also discuss a related result by Dolzhenko which applies to general (non-univalent) rational functions.Comment: 16 pages, to appear in Journal d'Analyse Mathematiqu
