Abstract

We study the covering properties of mappings of bounded and exponentially integrable distortion on the unit ball. We extend the results of Eremenko (Proc Am Math Soc 128:557–560, 2000) by proving Bloch-type theorems for mappings of exponentially integrable distortion. In the case of mappings of bounded distortion, we formulate and prove Bloch’s theorem in its most natural form.
