Given a Gromov hyperbolic domain $G\subsetneq \mathbb{R}^n$ with uniformly perfect Gromov boundary, Zhou and Rasila recently proved that for all quasiconformal homeomorphisms $\psi\colon G\to G$ with identity value on the Gromov boundary, the quasihyperbolic displacement $k_G(x,\psi(x))$ for all $x\in G$ is bounded above. In this paper, we generalize this result and establish Teichmüller displacement theorem for quasi-isometries of Gromov hyperbolic spaces in a quantitative way. As applications, we obtain its connections to bilipschitz extensions of certain Gromov hyperbolic spaces.

We define balanced self-similar quasi-round carpets and compare the carpet moduli of some path families relating to such a carpet. Then, using some known results on quasiconformal geometry of carpets, we prove that the group of quasisymmetric self-homeomorphisms of every balanced self-similar quasi-round carpet is finite. Furthermore, we prove that some balanced self-similar carpets in the unit square with strong geometric symmetry are quasisymmetrically rigid by using the quasisymmetry of weak tangents of carpets.

The asymptotic mean value Laplacian—AMV Laplacian—extends the Laplace operator from $\mathbb {R}^n$ to metric measure spaces through limits of averaging integrals. The AMV Laplacian is however not a symmetric operator in general. Therefore, we consider a symmetric version of the AMV Laplacian, and focus lies on when the symmetric and non-symmetric AMV Laplacians coincide. Besides Riemannian and 3D contact sub-Riemannian manifolds, we show that they are identical on a large class of metric measure spaces, including locally Ahlfors regular spaces with suitably vanishing distortion. In addition, we study the context of weighted domains of $\mathbb {R}^n$—where the two operators typically differ—and provide explicit formulae for these operators, including points where the weight vanishes.

To every finite metric space X, including all connected unweighted graphs with the minimum edge-distance metric, we attach an invariant that we call its blowup-polynomial $p_X(\{ n_x : x \in X \})$. This is obtained from the blowup $X[\mathbf {n}]$ – which contains $n_x$ copies of each point x – by computing the determinant of the distance matrix of $X[\mathbf {n}]$ and removing an exponential factor. We prove that as a function of the sizes $n_x$, $p_X(\mathbf {n})$ is a polynomial, is multi-affine, and is real-stable. This naturally associates a hitherto unstudied delta-matroid to each metric space X; we produce another novel delta-matroid for each tree, which interestingly does not generalize to all graphs. We next specialize to the case of $X = G$ a connected unweighted graph – so $p_G$ is “partially symmetric” in $\{ n_v : v \in V(G) \}$ – and show three further results: (a) We show that the polynomial $p_G$ is indeed a graph invariant, in that $p_G$ and its symmetries recover the graph G and its isometries, respectively. (b) We show that the univariate specialization $u_G(x) := p_G(x,\dots ,x)$ is a transform of the characteristic polynomial of the distance matrix $D_G$; this connects the blowup-polynomial of G to the well-studied “distance spectrum” of G. (c) We obtain a novel characterization of complete multipartite graphs, as precisely those for which the “homogenization at $-1$” of $p_G(\mathbf { n})$ is real-stable (equivalently, Lorentzian, or strongly/completely log-concave), if and only if the normalization of $p_G(-\mathbf { n})$ is strongly Rayleigh.

The aim of this paper is to establish the boundedness of fractional type Marcinkiewicz integral $\mathcal {M}_{\iota ,\rho ,m}$ and its commutator $\mathcal {M}_{\iota ,\rho ,m,b}$ on generalized Morrey spaces and on Morrey spaces over nonhomogeneous metric measure spaces which satisfy the upper doubling and geometrically doubling conditions. Under the assumption that the dominating function $\lambda $ satisfies $\epsilon $ -weak reverse doubling condition, the author proves that $\mathcal {M}_{\iota ,\rho ,m}$ is bounded on generalized Morrey space $L^{p,\phi }(\mu )$ and on Morrey space $M^{p}_{q}(\mu )$ . Furthermore, the boundedness of the commutator $\mathcal {M}_{\iota ,\rho ,m,b}$ generated by $\mathcal {M}_{\iota ,\rho ,m}$ and regularized $\mathrm {BMO}$ space with discrete coefficient (= $\widetilde {\mathrm {RBMO}}(\mu )$ ) on space $L^{p,\phi }(\mu )$ and on space $M^{p}_{q}(\mu )$ is also obtained.

We prove that if $f:\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}^n$ , for n ≥ 2, is a homeomorphism with bounded skew over all equilateral hyperbolic triangles, then f is in fact quasiconformal. Conversely, we show that if $f:\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}^n$ is quasiconformal then f is η-quasisymmetric in the hyperbolic metric, where η depends only on n and K. We obtain the same result for hyperbolic n-manifolds. Analogous results in $\mathbb{R}^n$ , and metric spaces that behave like $\mathbb{R}^n$ , are known, but as far as we are aware, these are the first such results in the hyperbolic setting, which is the natural metric to use on $\mathbb{B}^n$ .

Main results of the paper are as follows:

(1) For any finite metric space $M$ the Lipschitz-free space on $M$ contains a large well-complemented subspace that is close to $\ell _{1}^{n}$.

(2) Lipschitz-free spaces on large classes of recursively defined sequences of graphs are not uniformly isomorphic to $\ell _{1}^{n}$ of the corresponding dimensions. These classes contain well-known families of diamond graphs and Laakso graphs.

Interesting features of our approach are: (a) We consider averages over groups of cycle-preserving bijections of edge sets of graphs that are not necessarily graph automorphisms. (b) In the case of such recursive families of graphs as Laakso graphs, we use the well-known approach of Grünbaum (1960) and Rudin (1962) for estimating projection constants in the case where invariant projections are not unique.

Large-scale sublinearly Lipschitz maps have been introduced by Yves Cornulier in order to precisely state his theorems about asymptotic cones of Lie groups. In particular, Sublinearly bi-Lipschitz Equivalences (SBE) are a weak variant of quasi-isometries, with the only requirement of still inducing bi-Lipschitz maps at the level of asymptotic cones. We focus here on hyperbolic metric spaces and study properties of boundary extensions of SBEs, reminiscent of quasi-Möbius (or quasisymmetric) mappings. We give a dimensional invariant of the boundary that allows to distinguish hyperbolic symmetric spaces up to SBE, answering a question of Druţu.

Let $({\mathcal{X}},d,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$ be a nonhomogeneous metric measure space satisfying the so-called upper doubling and the geometric doubling conditions. In this paper, the authors give the natural definition of the generalized Morrey spaces on $({\mathcal{X}},d,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$, and then investigate some properties of the maximal operator, the fractional integral operator and its commutator, and the Marcinkiewicz integral operator.

Let $G$ and $\tilde{G}$ be Kleinian groups whose limit sets $S$ and $\tilde{S}$, respectively, are homeomorphic to the standard Sierpiński carpet, and such that every complementary component of each of $S$ and $\tilde{S}$ is a round disc. We assume that the groups $G$ and $\tilde{G}$ act cocompactly on triples on their respective limit sets. The main theorem of the paper states that any quasiregular map (in a suitably defined sense) from an open connected subset of $S$ to $\tilde{S}$ is the restriction of a Möbius transformation that takes $S$ onto $\tilde{S}$, in particular it has no branching. This theorem applies to the fundamental groups of compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds with non-empty totally geodesic boundaries. One consequence of the main theorem is the following result. Assume that $G$ is a torsion-free hyperbolic group whose boundary at infinity $\partial _{\infty }G$ is a Sierpiński carpet that embeds quasisymmetrically into the standard 2-sphere. Then there exists a group $H$ that contains $G$ as a finite index subgroup and such that any quasisymmetric map $f$ between open connected subsets of $\partial _{\infty }G$ is the restriction of the induced boundary map of an element $h\in H$.

We study the geometry of the space of measures of a compact ultrametric space $X$, endowed with the $L^{p}$ Wasserstein distance from optimal transportation. We show that the power $p$ of this distance makes this Wasserstein space affinely isometric to a convex subset of $\ell ^{1}$. As a consequence, it is connected by $1/p$-Hölder arcs, but any ${\it\alpha}$-Hölder arc with ${\it\alpha}>1/p$ must be constant. This result is obtained via a reformulation of the distance between two measures which is very specific to the case when $X$ is ultrametric; however, thanks to the Mendel–Naor ultrametric skeleton it has consequences even when $X$ is a general compact metric space. More precisely, we use it to estimate the size of Wasserstein spaces, measured by an analogue of Hausdorff dimension that is adapted to (some) infinite-dimensional spaces. The result we get generalizes greatly our previous estimate, which needed a strong rectifiability assumption. The proof of this estimate involves a structural theorem of independent interest: every ultrametric space contains large co-Lipschitz images of regular ultrametric spaces, i.e. spaces of the form $\{1,\dots ,k\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ with a natural ultrametric. We are also led to an example of independent interest: a space of positive lower Minkowski dimension, all of whose proper closed subsets have vanishing lower Minkowski dimension.

We show that every non-elementary hyperbolic group $\G $ admits a proper affine isometric action on $L^p(\bd \G \times \bd \G )$, where $\bd \G $ denotes the boundary of $\G $ and $p$ is large enough. Our construction involves a $\G $-invariant measure on $\bd \G \times \bd \G $ analogous to the Bowen–Margulis measure from the ${\rm CAT}(-1)$ setting, as well as a geometric, Busemann-type cocycle. We also deduce that $\G $ admits a proper affine isometric action on the first $\ell ^p$-cohomology group $H^1_{(p)}(\G )$ for large enough $p$.
