Weighted inverse multiplicity ($m_a(w)={\sum }_{a(v)=w}|\det Da(v){|}^{-1}$)

For a smooth local diffeomorphism $a:{\mathbb{R}}^d\to {\mathbb{R}}^d$, each inverse branch contributes an inverse Jacobian determinant in the area formula. Their sum is the weighted inverse multiplicity. A lower determinant bound controls each branch separately, not the number of branches. Bounded weighted inverse multiplicity is sufficient for dispersion with a nonlinear velocity map.
