Abstract:
It is known that mappings occurring in quasiconformal analysis can be defined in several equivalent ways: 1) as homeomorphisms inducing bounded composition operators between Sobolev spaces; 2) as Sobolev-class homeomorphisms with bounded distortion whose operator distortion function is integrable; 3) as homeomorphism changing the capacity of the image of a condenser in a controllable way in terms of the weighted capacity of the condenser in the source space; 4) as homeomorphism changing the modulus of the image of a family of curves in a controllable way in terms of the weighted modulus of the family of curves in the source space. A certain set function, defined on open subsets, can be associated with each of these definitions. The main result consists in the fact that all these set functions coincide.
