Abstract: We consider, for $nge3$, $K$-quasiregular $operatorname{vol}_N^{i}mes$-curves $MoN$ of small distortion $Kge1$ from oriented Riemannian $n$-manifolds into Riemannian product manifolds $N=N_{1}imescdotsimes{N}_k$, where each $N_i$ is an oriented Riemannian $n$-manifold and the calibration $operatorname{vol}_N^{i}mesinOmeg{a}^n(N)$ is the sum of the Riemannian volume forms $operatorname{vol}_{N_i}$ of the factors $N_i$ of $N$. We show that, in this setting, $K$-quasiregular curves of small distortion are carried by quasiregular maps. More precisely, there exists $K_0=K_0(n,k)>1$ having the property that, for $1leKle{K}_0$ and a $K$-quasiregular $operatorname{vol}_N^{i}mes$-curve $F=(f_1,ldots,f_k)colonMo{N}_{1}imescdotsimes{N}_k$ there exists an index $i_{0}in1,ldots,k$ for which the coordinate map $f_{i_0}colonMo{N}_{i_0}$ is a quasiregular map. As a corollary, we obtain first examples of decomposable calibrations for which corresponding quasiregular curves of small distortion are discrete and admit a version of Liouville's theorem.
