We study homeomorphisms h : X onto −→ Y between two bounded domains in Rn having finite conformal energy E[h] = ∫ X ||Dh(x) || n dx < ∞ , h ∈ W (X,Y). We consider the behavior of such mappings, including continuous extension to the closure of X and injectivity of h : X → Y. In general, passing to the weak W 1,n-limit of a sequence of homeomorphisms hj : X → Y one loses injectivity. However, if ...
