SUMMARY:BZ Seminar in Analysis: Pekka Pankka (Jyväskylä)
DESCRIPTION:One of the classical theorems in complex analysis is the Picard
 's  theorem stating that a non-constant entire holomorphic map from the  c
 omplex plane to the Riemann sphere omits at most two points.  In the late 
 1960's and early 1970's\, results of Reshetnyak and  Martio-Rickman-Väis
 älä showed that mappings of bounded distortion\, also  called as quasire
 gular mappings\, can be viewed as a counterpart for  holomorphic mappings 
 in quasiconformal geometry. One of the natural  goals from the very beginn
 ing in this theory was obtain Picard-type  results. In 1980\, Rickman show
 ed that a non-constant quasiregular  mapping from the Euclidean n-space to
  the n-sphere omits only finitely  many points\, where the number depends 
 only on the dimension and  distortion. The sharpness of Rickman's theorem 
 was not as simple issue  as in the classical Picard theorem. In 1984\, Ric
 kman showed by a  surprising and elaborate construction that given any fin
 ite set in the  3-sphere there exists a quasiregular from the Euclidean 3-
 space into the  3-sphere omitting exactly that set.  In this talk\, I will
  discuss joint work with David Drasin on the  sharpness of Rickman's Picar
 d theorem in all dimensions. Especially\, I  will discuss the role of bili
 pschitz geometry in the proof which leads  to a stronger stament on the me
 tric properties of the map and is a  crucial ingredient in dimensions n > 
 3.
