Abstract
We consider two conformally invariant metrics in proper subdomains of euclideann-spaceR n. We show that Lipschitz mappings in these metrics include the class of quasiconformational mappings as a proper subclass, yet these Lipschitz mappings have many properties similar to those of quasiconformal mappings.
