Abstract:

We introduce snowballs, which are compact sets in $\mathbb {R}^3$ homeomorphic to the unit ball. They are $3$-dimensional analogs of domains in the plane bounded by snowflake curves. For each snowball $\mathcal {B}$ a quasiconformal map $f\colon \mathbb {R}^3\to \mathbb {R}^3$ is constructed that maps $\mathcal {B}$ to the unit ball.
