SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on finding a conformal mapping from the exterior of a circle, specifically |z|>1, to the interior of a regular hexagon. The proposed method involves using the Schwarz-Christoffel formula to map the interior circle to the upper half-plane and then to the hexagon. A critical point highlighted is that one vertex of the polygon must map to infinity when applying the Schwarz-Christoffel formula, which is essential for ensuring the correctness of the mapping.
