Let f : M → M be a uniformly quasiregular self-map of a compact, connected, and oriented Riemannian n-manifold M without boundary, n 2. We show that, for k ∈ {0, . . . , n}, the induced homomorphism f * :is the kth singular cohomology of M , is complex diagonalizable and the eigenvalues of f * have absolute value (deg f ) k/n . As an application, we obtain a degree restriction for uniformly quasiregular self-maps of closed manifolds. In the proof of the main theorem, we use a Sobolev-de Rham cohomology based on conformally invariant differential forms and an induced push-forward operator.
