Distortion in the spherical metric under quasiconformal mappings

Abstract This paper contains bounds for the distortion in the spherical metric, that is to say bounds for the constant of H\ouml;lder continuity of mappings $f : (\Rn,q) -> (\Rn, q)$ where $q$ denotes the spherical metric. The mappings considered are $K$-quasiconformal ($K\ge 1$) and satisfy some normalizations or restrictions. All bounds are explicit and asymptotically sharp as $K \to 1$.
