Abstract

Recently, the theory of quasiregular mappings on Carnot groups has been developed intensively. Let ν stand for the homogeneous dimension of a Carnot group and let m be the index of the last vector space of the corresponding Lie algebra. We prove that the (ν−m−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the image of the branch set of a quasiregular mapping on the Carnot group is positive. Some estimates of the local index of quasiregular mappings are also obtained.
