On the Distortion and Correspondence under Quasiconformal Mappings in Space

Abstract

Recently many important results on rings and quasiconformal mappings in space have been obtained by B. V. Šabat [9], F. W. Gehring [3], J. Väisälä [11] and others. The modulus of a ring in space can be defined in three apparently different but essentially equivalent ways. (See Gehring [4]). In the theory of quasiconformal mappings in space, some properties for moduli of rings in space play an important role, because the method by means of moduli acts also as a substitute in space for the Riemann mapping theorem which does not hold in space.
