Abstract. Here we answer in the affirmative a conjecture of Iwaniec and Martin from [11] on solutions to the Beltrami equation whose distortion function is sub-exponentially integrable. Namely, we find the sharp Sobolev classes which these maps belong to, as well their area distortion estimates. These methods imply all further integrability results in this logarithmic scale.
