Abstract

Since the very beginning of the multidimensional theory of quasiregular mappings, it has been widely believed that the class of K-quasiregular mappings in ℝn is closed with respect to uniform convergence, where K stands for the linear dilatation. In this note we give a striking example which refutes this belief. The key element of our construction is that the linear dilatation function fails to be rank-one convex in dimensions higher than 2.
