A function between inner product spaces is which has a derivative at x
is conformal at x
iff the derivative preserves inner products up to a scalar multiple.
A real differentiable map f
is conformal at point x
if and only if its
differential fderiv ℝ f x
at that point scales every inner product by a positive scalar.
A real differentiable map f
is conformal at point x
if and only if its
differential f'
at that point scales every inner product by a positive scalar.
The conformal factor of a conformal map at some point x
. Some authors refer to this function
as the characteristic function of the conformal map.
