Abstract

Quasiconformal maps are homeomorphisms with useful local distortion inequalities; infinitesimally, they map balls to ellipsoids with bounded eccentricity. This leads to a number of useful regularity properties, including quantitative H\"older continuity estimates; on the other hand, one can use the radial stretches to characterize the extremizers for H\"older continuity. In this work, given any bounded countable set in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, we will construct an example of a KK-quasiconformal map which exhibits the maximum stretching at each point of the set. This will provide an example of a quasiconformal map that exhibits the worst-case regularity on a surprisingly large set, and generalizes constructions from the planar setting into Rd\mathbb{R}^d.
