A Few Facts About Quasiconformal Mappings

If then the maps and are both quasiconformal and have constant dilatation .

If then the map is quasiconformal (here is a complex number) and has constant dilatation . When, this is an example of a quasiconformal homeomorphism that is not smooth. If, this is simply the identity map.

A homeomophism is 1-quasiconformal if and only if it is conformal. Hence the identity map is always 1-quasiconformal. If is K-quasiconformal and is K' -quasiconformal, then is K K' -quasiconformal. The inverse of a K-quasiconformal homeomorphism is K-quasiconformal. Hence the set of quasiconformal maps forms a group under composition.

The space of K-quasiconformal mappings from the complex plane to itself mapping three distinct points to three given points is compact.

Famous quotes containing the word facts:

    “It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognise out of a number of facts which are incidental and which are vital.... I would call your attention to the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
    “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
    “That was the curious incident.”
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
