Finding the norm of $w + frac{1 - |w|^2}{|w - z|^2}(w - z)$, where $w$ and $z$ are in $mathbb{R}^n$












3












$begingroup$


I'm trying to show a result from Manfred Stoll's book on Hyperbolic geometry. Consider the function
$$M_w(z) = w + frac{1 - |w|^2}{|w - z|^2}(w - z)$$ where $w,z in mathbb{R}^n$ and $|w| < 1$. (I am using different variable names than Stoll). This function generalizes the Möbius transformations on the complex numbers.



Stoll writes that
$$|M_w(z)|^2 = frac{|w - z|^2 + (1 - |w|^2)(1-|z|^2)}{|w - z|^2}$$
How do you show this? I tried computing $langle M_w(z), M_w(z) rangle$, but I'm not getting any closer.



This result ultimately shows that $M_w(z)$ maps into the unit ball.
