Quasihyperbolic boundary conditions and Poincaré domains

We prove that a domain in whose quasihyperbolic metric satisfies a logarithmic growth condition with coefficient is a (q,p)-\Poincare domain for all p and q satisfying and , where denotes the Sobolev conjugate exponent. An elementary example shows that the given ranges for p and q are sharp. The proof makes use of estimates for a variational capacity. When p=2 we give an application to the solvability of the Neumann problem on domains with irregular boundaries. We also discuss the relationship between this growth condition on the quasihyperbolic metric and the s-John condition. Received: 2 May 2000 / Published online: 17 June 2002

Quasihyperbolic boundary conditions and capacity: Hölder continuity of quasiconformal mappings

We prove that quasiconformal maps onto domains which satisfy a quasihyperbolic boundary condition are globally H?lder continuous in the internal metric. The primary improvement here over existing results along these lines is that no assumptions are made on the source domain. We reduce the problem to the verification of a capacity estimate in domains satisfing a quasihyperbolic boundary condition, which we establish using a combination of a chaining argument involving the Poincaré inequality on Whitney cubes together with Frostman's theorem. We also discuss related results where the quasihyperbolic boundary condition is slightly weakened; in this case the H?lder continuity of quasiconformal maps is replaced by uniform continuity with a modulus of continuity which we calculate explicitly.

Quasihyperbolic geodesics in convex domains

We show that quasihyperbolic geodesics exist in convex domains in reflexive Banach spaces and that quasihyperbolic geodesies are quasiconvex in the norm metric in convex domains in all normed spaces.

Geometric characterizations of Gromov hyperbolicity

We prove the equivalence of three different geometric properties of metric-measure spaces with controlled geometry. The first property is the Gromov hyperbolicity of the quasihyperbolic metric. The second is a slice condition and the third is a combination of the Gehring–Hayman property and a separation condition. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991) 30F45     

Uniformly Separated Sets and Gromov Hyperbolicity of Domains with the Quasihyperbolic Metric

In this article we prove comparative results on the Gromov hyperbolicity of plane domains equipped with the quasihyperbolic metric. By a comparative result we mean one which assumes hyperbolicity in one domain and obtains it in a different domain somehow related to the original one. We derive a characterization (simple to check in practical cases) of the Gromov hyperbolicity of a plane domain Ω* obtained by deleting from the original domain Ω any uniformly separated union of compact sets. We present as well a result about stability of hyperbolicity.     

Local convexity properties of quasihyperbolic balls in punctured space

This paper deals with local convexity properties of the quasihyperbolic metric in the punctured space. We consider convexity and starlikeness of the quasihyperbolic balls.     

The Set of Pre-Ends and the Ideal Boundary of a Manifold without Boundary

Relations between prime pre-ends and elements of the ideal boundary of a manifold without boundary are studied. The cases of a manifold with Mazurkiewicz or Riemannian intrinsic metric and of a manifold with quasihyperbolic metric are considered.

Global Integrability of the Derivative of a Quasiconformal Mapping

We establish an essentially sharp growth condition on the quasihyperbolic metric of a domain sufficient for the global higher integrability of the derivative of a quasiconformal mapping.     

On global integrability of BMO functions on general domains

Extending results of Staples and Smith-Stegenga, we characterize measurable subsets of a given domainD ⊃R ⁿ on which BMO(D) functions areL ^p integrable or exponentially integrable. In particular, we characterize uniform domains by the integrability of BMO functions. We also remark on the boundedness of domains satisfying a certain integrability condition for the quasihyperbolic metric.     

L(μ)-averaging domains

In this paper we first introduce L^s(μ)-averaging domains which are generalizations of L^s-averaging domains introduced by S.G. Staples. We characterize L^s(μ)-averaging domains using the quasihyperbolic metric. As applications, we prove norm inequalities for conjugate A-harmonic tensors in L^s(μ)-averaging domains which can be considered as generalizations of the Hardy and Littlewood theorem for conjugate harmonic functions. Finally, we give applications to quasiconformal and quasiregular mappings.     

Quasihyperbolic Distance in Punctured Planes

We give an explicit formula of the quasihyperbolic distance from a point to a line in the once punctured plane and prove the geodesic is orthogonal to the line. By this result, we give an affirmative answer to the open problem in the case of twice and thrice punctured planes raised by Klén and generalize their estimates. We also construct an example to show that the cosine inequality does not hold in twice or thrice punctured planes.     

The Arc Distortion in QH Inner ψ-uniform （or Convex） Domains in Real Banach Spaces

Let D and D′ be domains in real Banach spaces of dimension at least 2. The main aim of this paper is to study certain arc distortion properties in the quasihyperbolic metric defined in real Banach spaces. In particular, when D′ is a QH inner ψ-uniform domain with ψ being a slow (or a convex domain), we investigate the following: For positive constants c,h,C,M, suppose a homeomorphism f: D → D′ takes each of the 10-neargeodesics in D to (c, h)-solid in D′. Then f is C-coarsely M-Lipschitz in the quasihyperbolic metric. These are generalizations of the corresponding result obtained recently by Väisälä.     

Volume growth and spectrum for general graph Laplacians

We prove estimates relating exponential or sub-exponential volume growth of weighted graphs to the bottom of the essential spectrum for general graph Laplacians. The volume growth is computed with respect to a metric adapted to the Laplacian, and use of these metrics produces better results than those obtained from consideration of the graph metric only. Conditions for absence of the essential spectrum are also discussed. These estimates are shown to be optimal or near-optimal in certain settings and apply even if the Laplacian under consideration is an unbounded operator.     

Some Results on Contact Metric Manifolds

If the sectional curvatures of plane sections containing the characteristic vector field of a contact metric manifold M are non-vanishing, then we prove that a second order parallel tensor on M is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor. Next, we prove for a contact metric manifold of dimension greater than 3 and whose Ricci operator commutes with the fundamental collineation that, if its Weyl conformal tensor is harmonic, then it is Einstein. We also prove that, if the Lie derivative of the fundamental collineation along the characteristic vector field on a contact metric 3-manifold M satisfies a cyclic condition, then M is either Sasakian or locally isometric to certain canonical Lie-groups with a left invariant metric. Next, we prove that if a three-dimensional Sasakian manifold admits a non-Killing projective vector field, it is of constant curvature 1. Finally, we prove that a conformally recurrent Sasakian manifold is locally isometric to a unit sphere.     

The metric geometry of the manifold of Riemannian metrics over a closed manifold

We prove that the L ² Riemannian metric on the manifold of all smooth Riemannian metrics on a fixed closed, finite-dimensional manifold induces a metric space structure. As the L ² metric is a weak Riemannian metric, this fact does not follow from general results. In addition, we prove several results on the exponential mapping and distance function of a weak Riemannian metric on a Hilbert/Fréchet manifold. The statements are analogous to, but weaker than, what is known in the case of a Riemannian metric on a finite-dimensional manifold or a strong Riemannian metric on a Hilbert manifold.
