Résumé

Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$ and Lobachevsky space $\mathbb H^n$ are known to be not equivalent either conformally or quasiconformally. In this work we give exact asymptotics of the critical order of growth at infinity for the quasiconformality coefficient of a diffeomorphism $f\colon \mathbb R^n\to\mathbb H^n$ for which such a mapping $f$ is possible. We also consider the general case of immersions $f\colon M^n\to N^n$ of conformally parabolic Riemannian manifolds. Bibliography: 17 titles.

Détail

Keywords: quasiconformal mapping, Riemannian manifold, conformal type of a Riemannian manifold, Euclidean space, Lobachevsky space.
