Amenability, Poincaré series and quasiconformal maps.
Let T(Δ) be the universal Teichmüller space on the unit disk Δ and T₀(Δ) be the set of asymptotically conformal classes in T(Δ). Suppose that μ is a Beltrami differential on Δ with [μ] ∈ T₀(Δ). It is an interesting question whether [tμ] belongs to T₀(Δ) for general t ≠ 0, 1. In this paper, it is shown that there exists a Beltrami differential μ ∈ [0] such that [tμ] is a non-trivial non-Strebel point for any .
In the present paper we answer two questions raised by Barbilian in 1960. First, we study how far can the hypothesis of Barbilian's metrization procedure can be relaxed. Then, we prove that Barbilian's metrization procedure in the plane generates either Riemannian metrics or Lagrance generalized metrics not reducible to Finslerian or Langrangian metrics.
We show how certain geometric conditions on a planar set imply that the set must lie on a quasicircle, and we give a geometric characterization of all subsets of the plane that are quasiconformally equivalent to the usual Cantor middle-third set.
