It is proved the following theorem, if $w$ is a quasiconformal harmonic mappings between two Riemann surfaces with smooth boundary and aproximate analytic metric, then $w$ is a quasi-isometry with respect to Euclidean metric.
Let E be a compact set in the plane, g be a K-quasiconformal map, and let 0<t<2. Then H^t (E) = 0 implies H^{t'} (g E) = 0, for t'=[2Kt]/[2+(K-1)t]. This is a refinement of a set of inequalities on the distortion of Hausdorff dimensions by quasiconformal maps proved by K. Astala in his celebrated paper on area distortion for quasiconformal maps and answers in the positive a Conjecture of K. Astala in op. cit.
We prove existence of solutions to a nonlinear transport equation in the plane, for which the velocity field is obtained as the convolution of the classical Cauchy Kernel with the unknown. Even though the initial datum is bounded and compactly supported, the velocity field may have unbounded divergence. The proof is based on the compactness property of quasiconformal mappings.
In this paper, we extend Ahlfors's univalent criteria and Ahlfors's quasiconformal extension for analytic functions to harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk. Moreover, we give a general quasiconformal extension of harmonic Teichmüller mappings, whose maximal dilatation estimate is asymptotically sharp.
We study one-parameter curves on the universal Teichmüller space $T$ and on the homogeneous space $M=\Diff S^1/\Rot S^1$ embedded into $T$. As a result, we deduce evolution equations for conformal maps that admit quasiconformal extensions and, in particular, such that the associated quasidisks are bounded by smooth Jordan curves. Some applications to Hele-Shaw flows of viscous fluids are given.
The main aim of this article is to establish certain relationships between $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings and John disks. The results of this article are the generalizations of the corresponding results of Ch.~Pommerenke \cite{Po}.
We prove that a harmonic quasiconformal mapping defined on a finitely connected domain in the plane, all of whose boundary components are either points or quasicircles, admits a quasiconformal extension to the whole plane if its Schwarzian derivative is small. We also make the observation that a univalence criterion for harmonic mappings holds on uniform domains.
In this article, we first discuss the Lipschitz characteristic and the linear measure distortion of $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings. Then we give some characterizations of the radial John disks with the help of Pre-Schwarzian of harmonic mappings.
In this article, we continue our investigations of the boundary behavior of harmonic mappings. We first discuss the classical problem on the growth of radial length and obtain a sharp growth theorem of the radial length of $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings. Then we present an alternate characterization of radial John disks. In addition, we investigate the linear measure distortion and the Lipschitz continuity on $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings of the unit disk onto a radial John disk. Finally, using Pommerenke interior domains, we characterize certain differential properties of $K$-qua…
In this paper we extend Rado-Choquet-Kneser theorem for the mappings with Lipschitz boundary data and essentially positive Jacobian at the boundary, without restriction on the convexity of image domain. It is an extension of a recent result of Alessandrini and Nesi \cite{ale}. Some applications for the family of quasiconformal harmonic mappings between Jordan domains are given.

We prove that if the Schwarzian norm of a given complex-valued locally univalent harmonic mapping $f$ in the unit disk is small enough, then $f$ is, indeed, globally univalent and can be extended to a quasiconformal mapping in the extended complex plane.
The purpose of this paper is to explore conditions which guarantee Lipschitz-continuity of harmonic maps w.r.t. quasihyperbolic metrics. For instance, we prove that harmonic quasiconformal maps are Lipschitz w.r.t. quasihyperbolic metrics.
In the present paper, we discuss several basic properties of a class of quasiconformal close-to-convex harmonic mappings with starlike analytic part, such results as coefficient inequalities, an integral representation, a growth theorem, an area theorem, and radii of close-to-convexity of partial sums of the class, are derived.

Let $D$ and $Ω$ be Jordan domains with Dini's smooth boundaries and and let $f:D\mapsto Ω$ be a harmonic homeomorphism. The object of the paper is to prove the following result: If $f$ is quasiconformal, then $f$ is Lipschitz. This extends some recent results, where stronger assumptions on the boundary are imposed, and somehow is optimal, since it coincides with the best condition for Lipschitz behavior of conformal mappings in the plane and conformal parametrization of minimal surfaces.
In this article, we establish the Bohr inequalities for the sense-preserving $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ involving classes of Ma-Minda starlike and convex univalent functions, usually denoted by $\mathcal{S}^*(ψ)$ and $\mathcal{C}(ψ)$ respectively, and for $\log (f(z)/z)$ where $f$ belongs to the Ma-Minda classes or satisfies certain differential subordination. We also estimate Logarithmic coefficient's bounds for the functions in $\mathcal{C}(ψ)$ for the case $ψ(\mathbb{D})$ be convex.
We prove that for harmonic quasiconformal mappings $α$-Hölder continuity on the boundary implies $α$-Hölder continuity of the map itself. Our result holds for the class of uniformly perfect bounded domains, in fact we can allow that a portion of the boundary is thin in the sense of capacity. The problem for general bounded domains remains open.
We study quasiconformal maps on non-rigid Carnot groups equipped with Carnot metric. We show that for most non-rigid Carnot groups N, all quasiconformal maps on N must be biLipschitz.
Quasiconformal homeomorphisms of the unit ball $B^n$ of ${\mathbb R}^n, n \ge 3,$ onto itself with identity boundary values are studied. A spatial analogue of Teichmüller's theorem is proved.
It is known for some time that there exists an energy-minimal diffeomorphism between two doubly-connected domains $Ω$ and $D$ provided that $\mathrm{Mod}(Ω)\le \mathrm{Mod}{D}$ and that diffeomorphism is harmonic \cite{tedi}. In this note we give a short proof of the fact that for given annuli $Ω$ and $D$ satisfying the condition $\mathrm{Mod}(Ω)\le \mathrm{Mod}(D)$ there exist a $K-$quasiconformal harmonic diffeomorphism $f:Ω\onto D$, where $K=K(τ)$, $τ=\mathrm{Mod}(Ω)/ \mathrm{Mod}(D)$ and $\lim_{τ\to 1}K(τ)=1$.
If $Ω$ is a simply connected domain in $\overline{\mathbb C}$ then, according to the Ahlfors-Gehring theorem, $Ω$ is a quasidisk if and only if there exists a sufficient condition for the univalence of holomorphic functions in $Ω$ in relation to the growth of their Schwarzian derivative. We extend this theorem to harmonic mappings by proving a univalence criterion on quasidisks. We also show that the mappings satisfying this criterion admit a homeomorphic extension to $\overline{\mathbb C}$ and, under the additional assumption of quasiconformality in $Ω$, they admit a quasiconformal extension …
We prove that every quasiconformal mapping from the harmonic $β$-Bloch space between the unit ball and a spatial domain with $C^1$ boundary is globally $α$-Hölder continuous for $α<1-β$, with the Hölder coefficient that does not depend neither on the mapping nor on $β$. An analogous result also holds for Lipschitz continuous, quasiconformal harmonic mappings for $α<1$. This extends some results from the complex plane obtained by Warschawski in \cite{Warschawski} for conformal mappings and Kalaj in \cite{Kalaj6} for quasiconformal harmonic mappings.
Using normal family arguments, we show that the degree of the first nonzero homogenous polynomial in the expansion of $n$ dimensional Euclidean harmonic $K$-quasiconformal mapping around an internal point is odd, and that such a map from the unit ball onto a bounded convex domain, with $K< 3^{n-1}$, is co-Lipschitz. Also some generalizations of this result are given, as well as a generalization of Heinz's lemma for harmonic quasiconformal maps in $\mathbb R^n$ and related results.
Our goal is to provide a survey of some topics in quasiconformal analysis of current interest. We try to emphasize ideas and leave proofs and technicalities aside. Several easily stated open problems are given. Most of the results are joint work with several coauthors.
Here we give an alternate proof of a sufficient condition due to J. Mateu, J. Orobitg, and J. Verdera for a quasiconformal map of the plane with dilatation supported in a smooth domain to be bi-Lipschitz. We also extend this theorem to cover boundaries with certain types of corners.
We show that quasiconformal maps on many Carnot groups must be biLipschitz. In particular, this is the case for 2-step Carnot groups with reducible first layer. These results have implications for the rigidity of quasiisometries between negatively curved solvable Lie groups.
We describe all quasiconformal maps on the higher (real and complex) model Filiform groups equipped with the Carnot metric, including non-smooth ones. These maps have very special forms. In particular, they are all biLipschitz and preserve multiple foliations. The results in this paper have implications to the large scale geometry of nilpotent Lie groups and negatively curved solvable Lie groups.
We establish that every $K$-quasiconformal mapping of $w$ of the unit disk $\ID$ onto a $C^2$-Jordan domain $Ω$ is Lipschitz provided that $Δw\in L^p(\ID)$ for some $p>2$. We also prove that if in this situation $K\to 1$ with $\|Δw\|_{L^p(\ID)}\to 0$, and $Ω\to \ID$ in $C^{1,α}$-sense with $α>1/2,$ then the bound for the Lipschitz constant tends to $1$. In addition, we provide a quasiconformal analogue of the Smirnov absolute continuity result over the boundary.
For the result on 1-quasiconformal maps, see the paper by Cowling and Ottazzi. The result on quasiconformal maps on Carnot groups with reducible first layer will appear in a forthcoming paper by Enrico Le Donne and Xiangdong Xie.
We derive a quasiconformal extension to 3-space of the Weierstrass-Enneper lifts of a class of harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk. The extension is based on fibrations of space by circles in domain and image that correspond to each other in a natural way. Convexity plays an essential role in the analysis. As a corollary we derive a sufficient condition for the underlying harmonic mapping to be univalent in the disk, with an explicit quasiconformal extension to the extended plane that generalizes the well known formula by Ahlfors-Weill.
Suppose that $f$ is a $K$-quasiconformal self-mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$, which satisfies the following: $(1)$ the biharmonic equation $Δ(Δf)=g$ $(g\in \mathcal{C}(\overline{\mathbb{D}}))$, (2) the boundary condition $Δf=φ$ ($φ\in\mathcal{C}(\mathbb{T})$ and $\mathbb{T}$ denotes the unit circle), and $(3)$ $f(0)=0$. The purpose of this paper is to prove that $f$ is Lipschitz continuos, and, further, it is bi-Lipschitz continuous when $\|g\|_{\infty}$ and $\|φ\|_{\infty}$ are small enough. Moreover, the estimates are asymptotically sharp as $K\to 1$, $\|g\|_{\infty}\to 0$ and $\|φ\|_…
A quantitative version of an inequality obtained in \cite[Theorem~2.1]{mathz} is given. More precisely, for normalized $K$ quasiconformal harmonic mappings of the unit disk onto a Jordan domain $Ω\in C^{1,μ} $ ($0<μ\le 1$) we give an explicit Lipschitz constant depending on the structure of $Ω$ and on $K$. In addition we give a characterization of q.c. harmonic mappings of the unit disk onto an arbitrary Jordan domain with $C^{2,α}$ boundary in terms of boundary function using the Hilbert transformations. Moreover it is given a sharp explicit quasiconformal constant in terms of the boundary fu…
The present article concerns the Bohr radius for $K$-quasiconformal sense-preserving harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ for which the analytic part $h$ is subordinated to some analytic function $φ$, and the purpose is to look into two cases: when $φ$ is convex, or a general univalent function in $\ID$. The results state that if $h(z) =\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ and $g(z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}b_n z^n$, then $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(|a_n|+|b_n|)r^n\leq \dist (φ(0),\partialφ(\ID)) ~\mbox{ for $r\leq r^*$} $$ and give estimates for the largest possible $r^*$ depending o…
We consider extensions of differential fields of mappings and obtain a lower energy bound for quasiconformal extension fields in terms of the topological degree. We also consider the related minimization problem for the $q$-harmonic energy, and show that the energy minimizers admit higher integrability.
R. Fehlmann and M. Vuorinen proved in 1988 that Mori's constant $M(n,K)$ for $K$-quasiconformal maps of the unit ball in $\mathbf{R}^n$ onto itself keeping the origin fixed satisfies $M(n,K) \to 1$ when $K\to 1 .$ We give here an alternative proof of this fact, with a quantitative upper bound for the constant in terms of elementary functions. Our proof is based on a refinement of a method due to G.D. Anderson and M. K. Vamanamurthy. We also give an explicit version of the Schwarz lemma for quasiconformal self-maps of the unit disk. Some experimental results are provided to compare the various …
In this paper, we establish a three circles type theorem, involving the harmonic area function, for harmonic mappings. Also, we give bounds for length and area distortion for harmonic quasiconformal mappings. Finally, we will study certain Lipschitz-type spaces on harmonic mappings.
We study the mean radius growth function for quasiconformal mappings. We give a new sub-class of quasiconformal mappings in $\mathbb{R}^n$, for $n\geq 2$, called bounded integrable parameterization mappings, or BIP maps for short. These have the property that the restriction of the Zorich transform to each slice has uniformly bounded derivative in $L^{n/(n-1)}$. For BIP maps, the logarithmic transform of the mean radius function is bi-Lipschitz. We then apply our result to BIP maps with simple infinitesimal spaces to show that the asymptotic representation is indeed quasiconformal by showing t…
We study quasiconformal mappings of the unit disk that have planar extension with controlled distortion. For these mappings we prove a bound for the modulus of continuity of the inverse map, which somewhat surprisingly is almost as good as for global quasiconformal maps. Furthermore, we give examples which improve the known bounds for the three point property of generalized quasidisks. Finally, we establish optimal regularity of such maps when the image of the unit disk has cusp type singularities.
