Define loxodromic transformations and explain how to determine when a Möbius transformation

T:z↦az+bcz+d with ad−bc=1T: z \mapsto \frac{a z+b}{c z+d} \quad \text { with } \quad a d-b c=1

is loxodromic.

Show that any Möbius transformation that maps a disc Δ\Delta onto itself cannot be loxodromic.
