Linear distortion and rescaling for quasiregular values
摘要
Sobolev mappings exhibiting only pointwise quasiregularity-type bounds have arisen in various applications, leading to a recently developed theory of quasiregular values. In this article, we show that by using rescaling, one obtains a direct bridge between this theory and the classical theory of quasiregular maps. More precisely, we prove that a non-constant mapping f: Ω → ℝn with a (K, Σ)-quasiregular value at f(x0) can be rescaled at x0 to a non-constant K-quasiregular mapping. Our proof of this fact involves establishing a quasiregular-values version of the linear distortion bound of quasiregular mappings. A quasiregular values variant of the small K-theorem is obtained as an immediate corollary of our main result.
