Mappings with integrable dilatation in higher dimensions

Abstract: Let

F i n W_{e x t l o c}^{1, n} (O m e g a; B b b R^{n})

be a mapping with nonnegative Jacobian

J_{F} (x) = d e t D F (x) g e 0

for a.e.

x

in a domain

O m e g a s u b s e t B b b R^{n}

. The {it dilatation} of

F

is defined (almost everywhere in

O m e g a

) by the formula

K(x)=frac{|DF(x)|^n}{J_F(x)}cdot

Iwaniec and v Sver' ak cite{IS} have conjectured that if

p g e n - 1

and

K i n L_{e x t l o c}^{p} (O m e g a)

then

F

must be continuous, discrete and open. Moreover, they have confirmed this conjecture in the two-dimensional case

n = 2

. In this article, we verify it in the higher- dimensional case

n g e 2

whenever

p > n - 1

.
