On the openness and discreteness of mappings with unbounded characteristic of quasiconformality

The paper is devoted to the investigation of topological properties of space mappings. It is shown that orientation-preserving mappings f:D ?[`(\mathbbRⁿ)] f:D \to \overline {{\mathbb{R}^n}} in a domain D ì \mathbbRⁿ D \subset {\mathbb{R}^n} , n ≥ 2; which are more general than mappings with bounded distortion, are open and discrete if a function Q corresponding to the control of the distortion of families of curves under these mappings has slow growth in the domain f (D), e.g., if Q has finite mean oscillation at an arbitrary point y ₀ ∈ f (D).     

On the local behavior of mappings with unbounded quasiconformality coefficient

We study space mappings more general than the mappings with bounded distortion in the sense of Reshetnyak. We consider questions related to the local behavior of mappings differentiable almost everywhere, possessing Properties N, N ^?1, ACP, and ACP ^?1, and such that quasiconformality coefficient satisfies a certain restriction on growth. We show that the value of a mapping satisfying these requirements on an arbitrary neighborhood of an essential singularity can be greater in absolute value than the logarithm of the inverse radius of the ball raised to an arbitrary positive power.     

On inner dilatations of the mappings with unbounded characteristic

For the mappings f:D ? D￠,  D,  D￠ ì \mathbbRⁿ f:D \to D',\,\,D,\,\,D' \subset {\mathbb{R}^n} , n ≥ 2, satisfying certain geometric conditions in the fixed domain D, we have proved estimates of the form K _I (x, f) ≤ Q(x) almost everywhere, where K _I (x, f) is the inner dilatation of f at a point x, and Q(x) is a fixed real-valued function responsible for the “control” over a distortion of the families of curves in D at a mapping f.     

Approximate fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in unbounded sets

It follows from Banach’s fixed point theorem that every nonexpansive self-mapping of a bounded, closed and convex set in a Banach space has approximate fixed points. This is no longer true, in general, if the set is unbounded. Nevertheless, as we show in the present paper, there exists an open and everywhere dense set in the space of all nonexpansive self-mappings of any closed and convex (not necessarily bounded) set in a Banach space (endowed with the natural metric of uniform convergence on bounded subsets) such that all its elements have approximate fixed points.     

On the sets of branch points of mappings more general than quasiregular

It is shown that if a point x ₀ ∊ ℝ ⁿ , n ≥ 3, is an essential isolated singularity of an open discrete Q-mapping f : D → [`(\mathbb R<sup>n</sup>)] \overline {\mathbb {R}^n} , B <sub>f</sub> is the set of branch points of f in D; and a point z <sub>0</sub> ∊ [`(\mathbb Rⁿ)] \overline {\mathbb {R}^n} is an asymptotic limit of f at the point x ₀; then, for any neighborhood U containing the point x ₀; the point z ₀ ∊ [`(f( B<sub>f</sub> ?U ))] \overline {f\left( {B_f \cap U} \right)} provided that the function Q has either a finite mean oscillation at the point x <sub>0</sub> or a logarithmic singularity whose order does not exceed n − 1: Moreover, for n ≥ 2; under the indicated conditions imposed on the function Q; every point of the set [`(\mathbb Rⁿ)] \overline {\mathbb {R}^n} \ f(D) is an asymptotic limit of f at the point x ₀. For n ≥ 3, the following relation is true: [`(\mathbbR<sup>n</sup> )] \f( D ) ì [`(f B_f )] \overline {\mathbb{R}^n } \backslash f\left( D \right) \subset \overline {f\,B_f } . In addition, if ￥ ? f( D ) \infty \notin f\left( D \right) , then the set f B _f is infinite and x₀ ? [`(B_f )] x_0 \in \overline {B_f } .     

On some properties of generalized quasiisometries with unbounded characteristic

We consider a family of open discrete mappings f:D ?[`(\mathbb R<sup>n</sup>)] f:D \to \overline {{{\mathbb R}^n}} that distort, in a special way, the p-modulus of a family of curves that connect the plates of a spherical condenser in a domain D in \mathbb R<sup>n</sup> {{\mathbb R}^n} ; p > n-1; p < n; and bypass a set of positive p-capacity. We establish that this family is normal if a certain real-valued function that controls the considered distortion of the family of curves has finite mean oscillation at every point or only logarithmic singularities of order not higher than n - 1: We show that, under these conditions, an isolated singularity x <sub>0</sub> ∈ D of a mapping f:D\{ x<sub>0</sub> } ?[`(\mathbb Rⁿ)] f:D\backslash \left\{ {{x_0}} \right\} \to \overline {{{\mathbb R}^n}} is removable, and, moreover, the extended mapping is open and discrete. As applications, we obtain analogs of the known Liouville and Sokhotskii–Weierstrass theorems.     

On an integral with two branch points

The paper considers a class of real integrals performed by using a convenient integral in the complex plane. A complex integral containing a multi-valued function with two branch points is transformed into another integral containing a pole and a unique branch point. As a by-product we obtain a new class of integrals which can be calculated in a very simple way.     

On coincidence points for vector mappings

For mappings acting in the product of metric spaces we propose a concept of vector covering. This concept is a natural extension of the notion of covering formappings inmetric spaces. The statements on the solvability of systems of operator equations are proved for the case when the left-hand side of an equation is a value of a vector covering mapping and the right-hand side is Lipschitzian vector mapping. In the scalar case the obtained statements are equivalent to the coincidence point theorems by A. V. Arutyunov. As an application, we prove a statement on the existence of n-fold coincidence points and obtain estimates of the points. The sufficient conditions for n-fold fixed points existence, including the well-known theorems on double fixed point, follow from the obtained results.

Equicontinuity of homeomorphisms with unbounded characteristic

The article is devoted to the study of the boundary properties of homeomorphisms f: D → D′, D,D′ ? ? ⁿ , satisfying some geometric conditions responsible for the control of the measure of distortion of families of curves in D. Under additional requirements on the boundaries ?D and ?D′ of the domains, we prove that the family of all such homeomorphisms is equicontinuous in $\bar D$ .

On false branch points of incompressible branched immersions

We prove that a branched immersion of a surface with boundary into a differentiable manifold has no false branch points (in fact, no ramified points) if the immersion induces an isomorphism of fundamental groups and some other natural hypotheses are satisfied. This result has immediate applications to Plateau's problem.Work done while the first author was a visiting member of the Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik at Bonn.
