Further Information

Let \(p\) be a monic complex polynomial of degree \(n\), and let \(K\) be a measurable subset of the complex plane. Then the area of \(p(K)\), counted with multiplicity is at least \(\Pi n(\frac{\text{Area}(K)}{\Pi})^{n}\), and the area of the pre-image of \(K\) under \(p\) is at most \(\Pi^{1-\frac{1}{n}}(\text{Area}(K))^{\frac{1}{n}}\). Both bounds are proved to be sharp. Due to Pólya, the author proved the classical result of a special case of the pre-image result in which \(K\) is a disc.
