We recall the notions of conformal and quasiconformal mappings \textit{in the sense of Gromov}, extending the classical notions of conformal and quasiconformal mappings, and prove the following theorem. {\em If the mapping $ F: \mathbb{R}^{n} \to \mathbb{R}^{2} $, where $ n \geq 2 $, quasiconformal in the sense of Gromov, omits more than one value on the plane $\mathbb{R}^{2} $, then it is a constant mapping.}
The global homeomorphism theorem for quasiconformal maps describes the following specifically higher-dimensional phenomenon: {\em Locally invertible quasiconformal mapping $f: {\R}^{n} \to {\R}^{n}$ is globally invertible provided $n > 2$.} We prove the following operator version of the global homeomorphism theorem. {\em If the operator $ f: H \to H $ acting in the Hilbert space $ H $ is locally invertible and is an operator of bounded distortion, then it is globally invertible.}
M.Gromov extended the concepts of conformal and quasiconformal mapping to the mappings acting between the manifolds of different dimensions. For instance, any entire holomorphic function $ f: \Cn \to {\mathbb C}$ defines a mapping conformal in the sense of Gromov. In this connection Gromov addressed a natural question: which facts of the classical theory apply to these mappings? In particular is it true that {\em If the mapping $ F: \R^{n + 1} \to \R^{n}$ is conformal and bounded, then it is a constant mapping, provided that $ n \geq 2 $}~? We present arguments confirming the validity of such a Liouville-type theorem.
