Abstract
We study uniformly quasiregular mappings of\(\bar {\mathbb{R}}^n \), i.e., quasiregular mappingsf with uniform control of the dilatation of all the iteratesf k, which are analogues of critically finite rational functions with parabolic orbifold. They form a rich family of non-injective uniformly quasiregular mappings. In our main result we characterize them among all uniformly quasiregular mappings as those which have an invariant conformal structure flat at a point of a repelling cycle.
