Noninjective map with constant Jacobian determinant
ID: noninjective-map-with-constant-jacobian-determinant
The displayed smooth map from to the punctured plane has Jacobian determinant one: in polar coordinates its radius is and its angle is , so the determinant is . Nevertheless for every integer . Thus a local volume-preserving map need not be injective or have bounded weighted inverse multiplicity. Compactly supported data distributed over many inverse branches disprove a determinant-only dispersion with a nonlinear velocity map estimate.
