On the infinitesimal space of uqr mappings

Generalized derivatives and infinitesimal spaces generalize the idea of derivatives to mappings which need not be differentiable. It is particularly powerful in the context of quasiregular mappings, where normal family arguments imply generalized derivatives always exist. The main result of this paper is to show that if $f$ is any uniformly quasiregular mapping with $x_0$ a topologically attracting or repelling fixed point, at which $f$ is locally injective, then $f$ may be conjugated to a uniformly quasiregular mapping $g$ with fixed point $0$ and so that the infinitesimal space of $g$ at $0$ contains uncountably many elements. This should be contrasted with the fact that $f$ (and also $g$) is conjugate to $x\mapsto x/2$ or $x\mapsto 2x$ in the attracting or repelling cases respectively.
