This volume is a collection of surveys on function theory in
euclidean n-dimensional spaces centered around the theme of
quasiconformal space mappings. These surveys cover or are
related to several topics including inequalities for
conformal invariants and extremal length, distortion
theorems, L(p)-theory of quasiconformal maps, nonlinear
potential theory, variational calculus, value distribution
theory of quasiregular maps, topological properties of
discrete open mappings, the action of quasiconformal maps in
special classes of domains, and global injectivity theorems.
The present volume is the first collection of surveys on
Quasiconformal Space Mappings since the origin of the theory
in 1960 and this collection provides in compact form access
to a wide spectrum of recent results due to well-known
specialists.
