On the conformality of a quasiconformal mapping at a point (Q2455092)

The following theorem is announced. Let \(f: D \to D\) with \(f(0)=0\) be a quasiconformal mapping with complex characteristic \(\mu(z)\,.\) If \[ \iint_{D} (| \mu(z)| ^2/ | z| ^2) \,dx \,dy < \infty \] and the improper integral \[ \iint_{D} (\mu(z)/z^2) \,dx\, dy \] exists in the sense of the Cauchy principal value, then \(f(z)\) is conformal at the point \(z=0.\) The authors also study the sharpness of the hypotheses. Previously, this topic has been studied by several authors, including Teichmüller, Wittich and Belinskii, in particular.
