Let \(G\) and \(G'\) be domains in Banach spaces \(E\) and \(E'\), respectively. Let \(\varphi:[0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)\) be a homeomorphism. A homeomorphism \(f: G\to G'\) is \(\varphi\)-solid if \(\varphi^{-1}(k(x,y))\leq k'(f(x), f(y))\leq \varphi(k(x,y))\) for all \(x,y\in G\). Here \(k\) and \(k'\) refer to the quasihyperbolic metrics of \(G\) and \(G'\), respectively, see [\textit{F. W. Gehring} and \textit{B. P. Palka}, J. Anal. Math. 30 172-199 (1976; Zbl 0349.30019)]. A homeomorphism \(f: G\to G'\) is freely \(\varphi\)-quasiconformal if \(f|D\) is \(\varphi\)-solid for each subdomain \(D\subset G\). This concept extends the usual notion of quasiconformality to infinite-dimensional spaces. Other extensions have not led to an interesting theory, however, see [\textit{J. Heinonen} and \textit{P. Koskela}, Acta Math. 181, No. 1, 1-61 (1998; Zbl 0915.30018)] for the analysis in a metric setup. This article is a minimonograph on free quasiconformality. Quasihyperbolic metric, quasisymmetric and quasi-Möbius maps, neargeodesics and coarse length, uniform domains and open problems all have their own sections. Rather little mathematical background is needed. Many concepts, like coarse length, are interesting and applicable in the usual Euclidean space. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0919.00050].
