We explore the interplay between different definitions of distortion for mappings $f\colon X\to \mathbb{R}^2$, where $X$ is any metric surface, meaning that $X$ is homeomorphic to a domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and has locally finite…
Quasiconformal maps in the complex plane are homeomorphisms that satisfy certain geometric distortion inequalities; infinitesimally, they map circles to ellipses with bounded eccentricity. The local distortion properties of these maps give…
Uniformly quasiconformally homogeneous domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ carry a transitive collection of $K$-quasiconformal maps for a fixed $K\geq 1.$ In this paper, we study two questions in this setting. The first is to show that…
In the present paper, it was studied the boundary behavior of the so-called lower Q-homeomorphisms in the plane that are a natural generalization of the quasiconformal mappings. In particular, it was found a series of effective conditions…
Teichm\"uller's classical mapping problem for plane domains concerns finding a lower bound for the maximal dilatation of a quasiconformal homeomorphism which holds the boundary pointwise fixed, maps the domain onto itself, and maps a given…
We prove that the composition of a quasi-nearly subharmonic function and a quasiregular mappings of bounded multiplicity is quasi-nearly subharmonic. Also, we prove that if $u\circ f$ is quasi-nearly subharmonic for all quasi-nearly…
We show that if $f:X\to Y$ is a quasisymmetric mapping between Ahlfors regular spaces, then $\dim_H f(E)\leq\dim_H E$ for "almost every" bounded Ahlfors regular set $E\subseteq X$. If additionally, $X$ and $Y$ are Loewner spaces then…
Let $F\in W_{loc}^{1,n}(\Omega;\Bbb R^n)$ be a mapping with non-negative Jacobian $J_F(x)=\text{det} DF(x)\ge 0$ a.e. in a domain $\Omega\in \Bbb R^n$. The dilatation of the mapping $F$ is defined, almost everywhere in $\Omega$, by the…
The present paper is devoted to the study of mappings with finite distortion on Riemannian manifolds. Theorems on local behavior of generalized quasiisometries with unbounded characteristic of quasiconformality are obtained.
We consider a strengthening of the usual quasiconvexity condition of Morrey in two dimensions, which allows us to prove lower semicontinuity for functionals which are unbounded as the determinant vanishes. This notion, that we call…
In this paper we study quasiconformal curves which are a special case of quasiregular curves. Namely embeddings $\Omega\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^m$ from some domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}^m$, where $n\leq m$, which belong in…
Given a cover $\mathcal{B}$ of a quasi-uniform space $Y$ we introduce a concept of lower semicontinuity for multifunctions $F:X\to 2^Y$, called $\mathcal{B}$-lsc. In this way, we get a common description of Vietoris-lsc, Hausdorff-lsc, and…
Conic quasi-linear maps are nonlinear operators from $C_0(X)$ to a normed linear space $E$ which preserve nonnegative linear combinations on positive cones generated by single functions; quasi-linear maps are linear on singly generated…
This paper introduces the proper notion of variational quasiconvexity associated to a group of diffeomorphisms. We prove a lower semicontinuity theorem connected to this notion. In the second part of the paper we apply this result to a…
Results on the upper and lower semicontinuity of functionals defined on spaces of convex and more general functions are established. In particular, the following result is obtained. Let $\phi(v; \cdot)$ be the density of the absolutely…
This paper contains bounds for the distortion in the spherical metric, that is to say bounds for the constant of Holder continuity of mappings f : (\Rn,q) -> (\Rn, q) where q denotes the spherical metric. The mappings considered are…
We give an application of our earlier results concerning the quasiconformal extension of a germ of a conformal map to establish that in two dimensions the equipotential level lines of a capacitor are quasicircles whose distortion depends…
We study continuity properties of Sobolev mappings $f \in W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,n} (\Omega, \mathbb{R}^n)$, $n \ge 2$, that satisfy the following generalized finite distortion inequality \[\lvert Df(x)\rvert^n \leq K(x) J_f(x) + \Sigma (x)\]…
We show weak lower semi-continuity of functionals assuming the new notion of a "convexly constrained" $\mathcal A$-quasiconvex integrand. We assume $\mathcal A$-quasiconvexity only for functions defined on a set $K$ which is convex.…
We define a relaxed version $H_f^{\textrm{fine}}$ of the distortion number $H_f$ that is used to define quasiconformal mappings. Then we show that for a BV function $f\in BV(\mathbb{R}^n;\mathbb{R}^n)$, for $|Df|$-a.e. $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ it…
