Abstract: In the planar setting the Rad'o-Kneser-Choquet theorem states that a harmonic map from the unit disk onto a Jordan domain bounded by a convex curve is a diffeomorphism provided that the boundary mapping is a homeomorphism. We prove the injectivity criterion of Rad'o-Kneser-Choquet for p-harmonic mappings between Riemannian surfaces. In our proof of the injecticity criterion we approximate the p-harmonic map with auxiliary mappings that solve uniformly elliptic systems. We prove that each auxiliary mapping has a positive Jacobian by a homotopy argument. We keep the maps injective all the way through the homotopy with the help of the minimum principle for a certain subharmonic expression that is related to the Jacobian.
