In 1967, V.A. Zorich proved the following result for quasi-regular mappings in space (see also Quasi-regular mapping): A locally homeomorphic quasi-regular mapping , , is, in fact, a homeomorphism of .

This result had been conjectured by M.A. Lavrent'ev in 1938. Note that the exponential function shows that there is no such result for . In 1971, O. Martio, S. Rickman and J. Väisälä proved a stronger quantitative result: For and there exists a number , the radius of injectivity, such that every locally injective -quasi-regular mapping , where and , for , is injective in .
