According to a theorem of Martio, Rickman and Väisälä, all nonconstant C n/(n-2) -smooth quasiregular maps in 𝐑 n , n≥3, are local homeomorphisms. Bonk and Heinonen proved that the order of smoothness is sharp in 𝐑 3 . We prove that the order of smoothness is sharp in 𝐑 4 . For each n≥5 we construct a C 1+ϵ(n) -smooth quasiregular map in 𝐑 n with nonempty branch set.
