Permutable Quasiregular Maps

Abstract

Let $f$ and $g$ be two quasiregular maps in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are of transcendental type and also satisfy $f\circ g =g \circ f$. We show that if the fast escaping sets of those functions are contained in their respective Julia sets then those two functions must have the same Julia set. We also obtain the same conclusion about commuting quasimeromorphic functions with infinite backward orbit of infinity. Furthermore we show that permutable quasiregular functions of the form $f$ and $g=\phi\circ f$, where $\phi$ is a quasiconformal map, have the same Julia sets and that polynomial type quasiregular maps cannot commute with transcendental type ones unless their degree is less than or equal to their dilatation.
