Worked solution: De Branges's proof of the Bieberbach conjecture via Milin's conjecture (1984)
Step 7 of 8: Conclusion: Milin's inequality implies
In plain words
Since and Steps 5--6 give , we have , hence the full Milin sum is non-positive and the Lebedev--Milin inequality yields . The argument also identifies equality: equality throughout forces a constant Loewner driving function, corresponding to rotations of the Koebe function.
