On boundary behavior of generalized quasi-isometries

We establish a series of criteria for continuous and homeomorphic extension to the boundary of the so-called lower Q-homeomorphisms f between domains in \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\overline {{^n}} = {^{^n}} \cup \{ \infty \} ,n \ge 2$$\end{document}, under integral constraints of the type ∫ Φ(Qn−1(x))dm(x) < ∞ with a convex non-decreasing function Φ: [0,∞]→[0,∞]. Integral conditions on Φ are found that are necessary and sufficient for a continuous extension of f to the boundary. Our results are applied to finitely bi-Lipschitz mappings, which are a far-reaching generalization of isometries as well as quasi-isometries in ℝn. In particular, a generalization and strengthening of the well-known theorem of Gehring-Martio on homeomorphic extension to boundaries of quasi-conformal mappings between QED (quasi-extremal distance) domains is obtained.
