Zorich's theorem
From HandWiki
In mathematical analysis, Zorich's theorem was proved by Vladimir A. Zorich in 1967. The result was conjectured by M. A. Lavrentev in 1938.
Theorem
Every locally homeomorphic quasiregular mapping ƒ : Rn → Rn for n ≥ 3, is a homeomorphism of Rn.
The fact that there is no such result for n = 2 is easily shown using the exponential function.
