Mappings of finite distortion : size of the branch set
2018
Abstract We study the branch set of a mapping between subsets of ℝ n {\mathbb{R}^{n}} , i.e., the set where a given mapping is not defining a local homeomorphism. We construct several sharp examples showing that the branch set or its image can have positive measure.
Mappings of Finite Distortion : Compactness of the Branch Set
2017
We show that an entire branched cover of finite distortion cannot have a compact branch set if its distortion satisfies a certain asymptotic growth condition. We furthermore show that this bound is strict by constructing an entire, continuous, open and discrete mapping of finite distortion which is piecewise smooth, has a branch set homeomorphic to an (n - 2)-dimensional torus and distortion arbitrarily close to the asymptotic bound.

On BLD-mappings with small distortion
2021
We show that every $$L$$ -BLD-mapping in a domain of $$\mathbb {R}^{n}$$ is a local homeomorphism if $$L < \sqrt{2}$$ or $$K_I(f) < 2$$ . These bounds are sharp as shown by a winding map.
