Iwaniec–Martin conjecture on weakly quasiregular mappings

Let cuOmega\textbackslashsubset\textbackslashmathbbRncuOmega\textbackslashsubset\textbackslashmathbb R^n be a domain, let K\textbackslashge1K\textbackslashge 1, and let p\textbackslashge1p\textbackslashge 1. A mapping f\textbackslashinW\textbackslashoperatornameloc1,p(cuOmega;\textbackslashmathbbRn)f\textbackslashin W^{1,p}_{\textbackslashoperatorname{loc}}(cuOmega;\textbackslashmathbb R^n) is weakly KK-quasiregular if it satisfies the corresponding weak distortion inequality. Iwaniec–Martin's conjecture. Every weakly KK-quasiregular mapping f\textbackslashinW\textbackslashoperatornameloc1,p(cuOmega;\textbackslashmathbbRn)f\textbackslashin W^{1,p}_{\textbackslashoperatorname{loc}}(cuOmega;\textbackslashmathbb R^n) with p\textbackslashgenKK+1p\textbackslashge \frac{nK}{K+1} is KK-quasiregular. The conjecture identifies the critical Sobolev exponent at which weak quasiregularity should imply quasiregularity; the cited discussion records examples below this threshold and the known optimality of the range when n=2n=2, but does not state a resolution of the conjecture in general.
