Abstract: In dimension 2, we introduce a distributional Jacobian determinant

for the nonlinear complex gradient

for any

, whenever

v i n W_{e x t l o c}^{1, 2}

and

. Then for any planar

i n f t y

-harmonic function

u

, we show that such distributional Jacobian determinant is a nonnegative Radon measure with some quantitative local lower and upper bounds. We also give the following two applications. (i) Applying this result with

, we develop an approach to build up a Liouville theorem, which improves that of Savin [33]. Precisely, if

u

is

i n f t y

-harmonic functions in whole

{m a t h b b R}^{2}

with

liminf_{R oinfty}inf_{cinmathbb R}frac1 {R^3}int_{B(0,R)}|u(x)-c|,dx<infty,

then

u = b + a c d o t x

for some

b i n m a t h b b R

and

a i n {m a t h b b R}^{2}

. (ii) Denoting by

u_{p}

the

p

-harmonic function having the same nonconstant boundary condition as

u

, we show that

as

p o i n f t y

in the weak-

s t a r

sense in the space of Radon measure. Recall that

is always quasiregular mappings, but

is not in general.
