Bloch radius, normal families and quasiregular mappings (Q4699547)

Bloch's theorem is extended to \(K\)-quasiregular maps \(\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb S^n\) where \(S^n\) is the standard \(n\)-dimensional unit sphere. An example shows that Bloch's constant actually depends on \(K\) for \(n \geq 3\). For general information on normal meromorphic functions, see \textit{A. Lohwater}, Itogi Nauki Tehn., Ser. Mat.
