    The paper is motivated by the so-called quasiconformal Jacobian problem which asks to characterize functions \(w>0\) such that the Jacobian \(\det f'(x)\) of a quasiconformal mapping \(f : \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n\) satisfies, for some fixed constant \(C>0,\) the inequality \(w/C \leq \det f'(x) \leq C w\) a.e. The authors prove, for instance, that if a set \(E \subset \mathbb R^n\) has Hausdorff dimension smaller than 1 then there exists a quasiconformal mapping \(f: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n\) such that \(\text{ess\,lim}_{y\to x} \det f'(y) = 0\) for all \(x \in E \,.\)
