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:
“The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.
The facts: nothing matters but the facts: worship of the facts leads to everything, to happiness first of all and then to wealth.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
