Bubbling of quasiregular maps (1904.00885v1)

Abstract: We give a version of Gromov's compactess theorem for pseudoholomorphic curves in the case of quasiregular mappings between closed manifolds. More precisely we show that, given $K\ge 1$ and $D\ge 1$, any sequence $(f_n \colon M \to N)$ of $K$-quasiregular mappings of degree $D$ between closed Riemannian $d$-manifolds has a subsequence which converges to a $K$-quasiregular mapping $f\colon X\to N$ of degree $D$ on a nodal $d$-manifold $X$.
