Quasiconformal and Bi-lipschitz Homeomorphisms, Uniform Domains and the Quasihyperbolic Metric

چکیده
Let D be a proper subdomain of R" and kD the quasihyperbolic metric defined by the conformal metric tensor ds2 = dist(x, dD)~2ds2. The geodesies for this and related metrics are shown, by purely geometric methods, to exist and have Lipschitz continuous first derivatives. This is sharp for kD; we also obtain sharp estimates for the euclidean curvature of such geodesies. We then use these results to prove a general decomposition theorem for uniform domains in R", in terms of embeddings of bi-Lipschitz balls. We also construct a counterexample to the higher dimensional analogue of the decomposition theorem of Gehring and Osgood.

The Quasihyperbolic Metric and Associated Estimates on the Hyperbolic Metric
In this paper we investigate the geometry of the quasihyperbolic metric of domains in R". This metric arises from the conformally flat generalized Riemannian metric d(x, aD)' ldx I. Due to the fact that the density cl(x, aD) -t is not necessarily differentiable, the classical theories of Riemannian geometry do not apply to this metric. The quasihyperbolic metric has been found to have many inte...
متن کامل2 Uniform continuity
The purpose of this paper is to explore conditions which guarantee Lipschitz-continuity of harmonic maps w.r.t. quasihyperbolic metrics. For instance, we prove that harmonic quasiconformal maps are Lipschitz w.r.t. quasihyperbolic metrics. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 30C85. Secondary 30C65.
متن کاملLocally Uniform Domains and Quasiconformal Mappings
We document various properties of the classes of locally uniform and weakly linearly locally connected domains. We describe the boundary behavior for quasiconformal ho-meomorphisms of these domains and exhibit certain metric conditions satissed by such maps. We characterize the quasiconformal homeomorphisms from locally uniform domains onto uniform domains. We furnish conditions which ensure th...
متن کاملHyperbolically Bi-Lipschitz Continuity for 1/|ω|2-Harmonic Quasiconformal Mappings
We study the class of 1/|w|-harmonic K-quasiconformal mappings with angular ranges. After building a differential equation for the hyperbolic metric of an angular range, we obtain the sharp bounds of their hyperbolically partial derivatives, determined by the quasiconformal constant K. As an applicationwe get their hyperbolically bi-Lipschitz continuity and their sharp hyperbolically bi-Lipschi...
متن کاملHyperbolizing Metric Spaces
It was proved by M. Bonk, J. Heinonen and P. Koskela that the quasihyperbolic metric hyperbolizes (in the sense of Gromov) uniform metric spaces. In this paper we introduce a new metric that hyperbolizes all locally compact noncomplete metric spaces. The metric is generic in the sense that (1) it can be defined on any metric space; (2) it preserves the quasiconformal geometry of the space; (3) ...
