Given a mapping \(f\) of the Sobolev class \(W_{p,\text{loc}}^1(U)\) with an open set \(U\subset\mathbb R^n\). The problem is to find conditions ensuring injectivity of this mapping. The main result is expressed by the following theorem. Theorem. Assume that a mapping \(f:U\to\mathbb R^n\) (\(n\geq 3\)) belongs to \(W_{p,\text{loc}}^1(U)\), \(p>n\), and, for every ball \(B(a,r)\subset U\) centered at \(a\) of radius \(r\), we have the inequality \[ \left(\frac{1}{\sigma_nr^n}\int_{B(a,r)}\|Qf(x)\|^p dx\right)^{1/p}< \frac{(n-2)c_{n,p}}{n\sigma_n r^n}\int_{B(a,r)} \left(1-\frac{|x-a|^2}{r^2}\right)\text{div} f dx \] with \[ c_{n,p}=\frac{(p-n)^{1-1/p}}{30(n(p-1))^{1-1/p}+n(p-n)^{1-1/p}}. \] Then the mapping \(f\) is locally one-to-one on the open set \(U\). Here, \(Qf\) is the matrix with entries \[ q_{i,j}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\partial f_i}{\partial x_j} + \frac{\partial f_j}{\partial x_i}\right) - \frac{\delta_{i,j}}{n}\text{div} f,\;\;i,j=1,2\dots,n, \] and \(\sigma_n\) is the volume of \(B(0,1)\). Further, the author estimates the radius of injectivity which is at least \(1/\sqrt{2}\) under the conditions of the theorem.
