Quasiconformal Mappings

Brad Weir



    The purpose of this talk is to introduce the basic theory of quasiconformal mappings, generalizations of conformal mappings, and give a tasting of their use. The topics include the measurable Riemann mapping theorem, an extension of the Riemann mapping theorem, Teichmuller's theorem about the relation of their extremal properties and analytic functions, and examples of their use in the study of elliptic partial differential equations.
