Self-similar Cantor sets and quasiregular mappings.
On relatively compact domains in metric measure spaces we construct singular functions that play the role of Green functions of the p-Laplacian. We give a characterization of metric spaces that support a global version of such singular function, in terms of capacity estimates at infinity of such metric spaces. In addition, when the measure of the space is locally Q-regular, we study quasiconformal invariance property associated with the existence of global singular functions.
We give an example of a -smooth quasiregular mapping in 3-space with nonempty branch set. Moreover, we show that the branch set of an arbitrary quasiregular mapping inn-space has Hausdorff dimension quantitatively bounded away from n. By using the second result, we establish a new, qualitatively sharp relation between smoothness and branching.
According to a theorem of Martio, Rickman and Väisälä, all nonconstant Cn/(n-2)-smooth quasiregular maps in Rn, n≥3, are local homeomorphisms. Bonk and Heinonen proved that the order of smoothness is sharp in R3. We prove that the order of smoothness is sharp in R4. For each n≥5 we construct a C1+ε(n)-smooth quasiregular map in Rn with nonempty branch set.
We give an example relating to the regularity properties of mappings with finite distortion. This example suggests conditions to be imposed on the distortion function in order to avoid "cavitation in measure".
By , , we denote the -th symmetric product of a metric space as the space of the non-empty finite subsets of with at most elements endowed with the Hausdorff metric . In this paper we shall describe that every isometry from the -th symmetric product into itself is induced by some isometry from into itself, where is either the Euclidean space or the sphere with the usual metrics. Moreover, we study the -th symmetric product of the Euclidean space up to bi-Lipschitz equivalence and...
