Moduli of Continuity of Quasiregular Mappings

TL;DR

This thesis investigates conformal invariants, quasiconformal maps, and harmonic quasiregular maps, focusing on their distortion, boundary behavior, and continuity properties in Euclidean spaces.

Contribution

It provides new insights into conformal invariants, distortion of quasiconformal maps with identity boundary values, and the preservation of modulus of continuity for harmonic quasiregular maps.

Findings

Conformal invariants and metrics are interrelated in Euclidean spaces.

Quasiconformal maps with identity boundary values exhibit specific distortion properties.

Harmonic quasiregular maps preserve Lipschitz continuity from boundary to interior.

Abstract

This thesis consists of Chapters 1 and 2. The main results are contained in the two preprints and two published papers, listed below. Chapter 1 deals with conformal invariants in the euclidean space Rn; n >= 2; and their interrelation. In particular, conformally invariant metrics and balls of the respective metric spaces are studied. Another theme in Chapter 1 is the study of quasiconformal maps with identity boundary values in two diferent cases, the unit ball and the whole space minus two points. These results are based on the two preprints: R. Klen, V. Manojlovic and M. Vuorinen: Distortion of two point normalized quasiconformal mappings, arXiv:0808.1219[math.CV], 13 pp., V. Manojlovic and M. Vuorinen: On quasiconformal maps with identity boundary values, arXiv:0807.4418[math.CV], 16 pp. Chapter 2 deals with harmonic quasiregular maps. Topics studied are: Preservation of modulus of continuity, in particular Lipschitz continuity, from the boundary to the interior of domain in case of harmonic quasiregular maps and quasiisometry property of harmonic quasiconformal maps. Chapter 2 is based mainly on the two published papers: M. Arsenovic, V. Kojic and M. Mateljevic: On Lipschitz continuity of harmonic quasiregular maps on the unit ball in Rn., Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn. Math. 33 (2008), no. 1, 315-318. V. Kojic and M. Pavlovic: Subharmonicity of jfjp for quasiregular harmonic functions, with applications, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 342 (2008) 742-746
