Abstract: We prove that all Sierpi'nski carpets in the plane are non-removable for (quasi)conformal maps. More precisely, we show that for any two Sierpi'nski carpets S,SsubsethatmathbbC there exists a homeomorphism fcolonhatmathbbCohatmathbbC that is conformal in hatmathbbCsetminusS and it maps S onto S. The proof is topological and it utilizes the ideas of the topological characterization of Whyburn. As a corollary, we obtain a partial answer to a question of Bishop, whether any planar continuum with empty interior and positive measure can be mapped to a set of measure zero with an exceptional homeomorphism of the plane, conformal off that set.
