Abstract:

We establish the basic analytic properties of mappings of finite distortion between proper Ahlfors regular metric measure spaces that support a $(1,1)$-Poincaré inequality. As applications, we prove that under certain integrability assumption for the distortion function, the branch set of a mapping of finite distortion between generalized $n$-manifolds of type $A$ has zero Hausdorff $n$-measure.
