For every ε > 0, any subset of ℝⁿ with Hausdorff dimension larger than (1-ε)n must have ultrametric distortion larger than 1/(4ε).

We discuss the representability almost everywhere (a.e.) in $ℂ$ of an irreducible algebraic function as the Cauchy transform of a signed measure supported on a finite number of compact semi-analytic curves and a finite number of isolated points. This brings us to the study of trajectories of the particular family of quadratic differentials $A(z-a)(z-b){(z-c)}^{-2}\mathrm{d}{z}^2$. More precisely, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the complex numbers $a$ and $b$ for these quadratic differentials to have finite critical trajectories....

This article studies an integral representation of functionals of linear growth on metric measure spaces with a doubling measure and a Poincaré inequality. Such a functional is defined via relaxation, and it defines a Radon measure on the space. For the singular part of the functional, we get the expected integral representation with respect to the variation measure. A new feature is that in the representation for the absolutely continuous part, a constant appears already in the weighted Euclidean...

This paper studies analytic aspects of so-called resistance conditions on metric measure spaces with a doubling measure. These conditions are weaker than the usually assumed Poincaré inequality, but however, they are sufficiently strong to imply several useful results in analysis on metric measure spaces. We show that under a perimeter resistance condition, the capacity of order one and the Hausdorff content of codimension one are comparable. Moreover, we have connections to the Sobolev inequality...

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a map deffned on a simply-connected quasi-convex metric space to factor through a tree. In case the target is the Euclidean plane and the map is Hölder continuous with exponent bigger than 1/2, such maps can be characterized by the vanishing of some integrals over winding number functions. This in particular shows that if the target is the Heisenberg group equipped with the Carnot-Carathéodory metric and the Hölder exponent of the map is bigger than...

By $F_n\left(X\right)$, $n\ge 1$, we denote the $n$-th symmetric product of a metric space $(X,d)$ as the space of the non-empty finite subsets of $X$ with at most $n$ elements endowed with the Hausdorff metric $d_H$. In this paper we shall describe that every isometry from the $n$-th symmetric product $F_n\left(X\right)$ into itself is induced by some isometry from $X$ into itself, where $X$ is either the Euclidean space or the sphere with the usual metrics. Moreover, we study the $n$-th symmetric product of the Euclidean space up to bi-Lipschitz equivalence and...

We show that for n ≥ 5, a length space (X; d) satisfies a rough n-point condition if and only if it is rough CAT(0). As a consequence, we show that the class of rough CAT(0) spaces is closed under reasonably general limit processes such as pointed and unpointed Gromov-Hausdorff limits and ultralimits.

Let p be a real number greater than one and let X be a locally compact, noncompact metric measure space that satisfies certain conditions. The p-Royden and p-harmonic boundaries of X are constructed by using the p-Royden algebra of functions on X and a Dirichlet type problem is solved for the p-Royden boundary. We also characterize the metric measure spaces whose p-harmonic boundary is empty.

We consider sets in uniformly perfect metric spaces which are null for every doubling measure of the space or which have positive measure for all doubling measures. These sets are called thin and fat, respectively. In our main results, we give sufficient conditions for certain cut-out sets being thin or fat.

We show that the tangent cone at the identity is not a complete quasiconformal invariant for sub-Riemannian nilpotent groups. Namely, we show that there exists a nilpotent Lie group equipped with left invariant sub-Riemannian metric that is not locally quasiconformally equivalent to its tangent cone at the identity. In particular, such spaces are not locally bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic. The result is based on the study of Carnot groups that are rigid in the sense that their only quasiconformal maps...

Let (Z, d, μ) be a compact, connected, Ahlfors Q-regular metric space with Q > 1. Using a hyperbolic filling of Z,we define the notions of the p-capacity between certain subsets of Z and of theweak covering p-capacity of path families Γ in Z.We show comparability results and quasisymmetric invariance.As an application of our methodswe deduce a result due to Tyson on the geometric quasiconformality of quasisymmetric maps between compact, connected Ahlfors Q-regular metric spaces.
