Zorich's theorem

In mathematical analysis, Zorich's theorem was proved by Vladimir A. Zorich in 1967.^[1] The result was conjectured by M. A. Lavrentev in 1938.^[2]

Theorem

Every locally homeomorphic quasiregular mapping $f:R^{n}\rightarrow R^{n}$ for $n\geq 3$ , is a homeomorphism of $R^{n}$ .^[3]

The fact that there is no such result for $n=2$ is easily shown using the exponential function.^[4]
