Notes on quasiregular maps between Riemannian manifolds

These notes provide an exposition on obtaining the well-known standard results of quasiregular maps on Riemannian manifolds, given the corresponding theory in the Euclidean setting. We recall several different approaches to first-order Sobolev spaces between Riemannian manifolds, and show that they result in equivalent definitions of quasiregular maps. We explain how e.g. Reshetnyak’s theorem, degree and local index theory, and the quasiregular change of variables formula are transferred into the manifold setting from Euclidean spaces. Finally, we conclude with a proof of the basic fact that pull-backs with quasiregular maps preserve Sobolev differential forms of the conformal exponent
