Rescaling principle for isolated essential singularities of quasiregular mappings
We establish a rescaling theorem for isolated essential singularities of quasiregular mappings. As a consequence we show that the class of closed manifolds receiving a quasiregular mapping from a punctured unit ball with an essential singularity at the origin is exactly the class of closed quasiregularly elliptic manifolds, that is, closed manifolds receiving a non-constant quasiregular mapping from a Euclidean space.
Free vs. Locally Free Kleinian Groups
Abstract We prove that Kleinian groups whose limit sets are Cantor sets of Hausdorff dimension < < 1 are free. On the other hand we construct for any ε > > 0 an example of a non-free purely hyperbolic Kleinian group whose limit set is a Cantor set of Hausdorff dimension < < 1 + + ε.
Quasiregular ellipticity of open and generalized manifolds
We study the existence of geometrically controlled branched covering maps from \(\mathbb R^3\) to open \(3\)-manifolds or to decomposition spaces \(\mathbb {S}^3/G\), and from \(\mathbb {S}^3/G\) to \(\mathbb {S}^3\).
Geometry and quasisymmetric parametrization of Semmes spaces
We consider decomposition spaces R/G that are manifold factors and admit defining sequences consisting of cubes-with-handles. Metrics on R/G constructed via modular embeddings of R/G into Euclidean spaces promote the controlled topology to a controlled geometry. The quasisymmetric parametrizability of the metric space R/G×R by R for any m ≥ 0 imposes quantitative topological constraints, in terms of the circulation and the growth of the cubes-with-handles, to the defining sequences for R/G. We give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for the existence of parametrization. The necessary condition answers negatively a question of Heinonen and Semmes on quasisymmetric parametrizabi…
Stoïlow’s theorem revisited
Stoilow's theorem from 1928 states that a continuous, open, and light map between surfaces is a discrete map with a discrete branch set. This result implies that such maps between orientable surfaces are locally modeled by power maps z -> z(k) and admit a holomorphic factorization. The purpose of this expository article is to give a proof of this classical theorem having readers in mind that are interested in continuous, open and discrete maps. (C) 2019 Elsevier GmbH.

Bing meets Sobolev
We show that, for each $1\le p < 2$, there exists a wild involution $\mathbb S^3\to \mathbb S^3$ in the Sobolev class $W^{1,p}(\mathbb S^3,\mathbb S^3)$.
Sharpness of Rickman’s Picard theorem in all dimensions
We show that given \({n \geqslant 3}\), \({q \geqslant 1}\), and a finite set \({\{y_1, \ldots, y_q \}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) there exists a quasiregular mapping \({\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^n}\) omitting exactly points \({y_1, \ldots, y_q}\).
Equilibrium measures for uniformly quasiregular dynamics
We establish the existence and fundamental properties of the equilibrium measure in uniformly quasiregular dynamics. We show that a uniformly quasiregular endomorphism $f$ of degree at least 2 on a closed Riemannian manifold admits an equilibrium measure $\mu_f$, which is balanced and invariant under $f$ and non-atomic, and whose support agrees with the Julia set of $f$. Furthermore we show that $f$ is strongly mixing with respect to the measure $\mu_f$. We also characterize the measure $\mu_f$ using an approximation property by iterated pullbacks of points under $f$ up to a set of exceptional initial points of Hausdorff dimension at most $n-1$. These dynamical mixing and approximation resu…
Geometry and quasisymmetric parametrization of Semmes spaces
We consider decomposition spaces R 3 /G that are manifold factors and admit defining sequences consisting of cubes-with-handles of finite type. Metrics on R 3 /G constructed via modular embeddings of R 3 /G into a Euclidean space promote the controlled topology to a controlled geometry. The quasisymmetric parametrizability of the metric space R 3 /G×R m by R 3+m for any m ≥ 0 imposes quantitative topological constraints, in terms of the circulation and the growth of the cubes-with-handles, on the defining sequences for R 3 /G. We give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for the existence of such a parametrization. The necessary condition answers negatively a question of Heinone…
