Quasiregular ellipticity of open and generalized manifolds
We study the existence of geometrically controlled branched covering maps from \(\mathbb R^3\) to open \(3\)-manifolds or to decomposition spaces \(\mathbb {S}^3/G\), and from \(\mathbb {S}^3/G\) to \(\mathbb {S}^3\).
Geometry and quasisymmetric parametrization of Semmes spaces
We consider decomposition spaces R/G that are manifold factors and admit defining sequences consisting of cubes-with-handles. Metrics on R/G constructed via modular embeddings of R/G into Euclidean spaces promote the controlled topology to a controlled geometry. The quasisymmetric parametrizability of the metric space R/G×R by R for any m ≥ 0 imposes quantitative topological constraints, in terms of the circulation and the growth of the cubes-with-handles, to the defining sequences for R/G. We give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for the existence of parametrization. The necessary condition answers negatively a question of Heinonen and Semmes on quasisymmetric parametrizabi…
Quasisymmetric spheres over Jordan domains
Let $\Omega$ be a planar Jordan domain. We consider double-dome-like surfaces $\Sigma$ defined by graphs of functions of $dist( \cdot ,\partial \Omega)$ over $\Omega$. The goal is to find the right conditions on the geometry of the base $\Omega$ and the growth of the height so that $\Sigma$ is a quasisphere, or quasisymmetric to $\mathbb{S}^2$. An internal uniform chord-arc condition on the constant distance sets to $\partial \Omega$, coupled with a mild growth condition on the height, gives a close-to-sharp answer. Our method also produces new examples of quasispheres in $\mathbb{R}^n$, for any $n\ge 3$.
Geometry and quasisymmetric parametrization of Semmes spaces
We consider decomposition spaces R 3 /G that are manifold factors and admit defining sequences consisting of cubes-with-handles of finite type. Metrics on R 3 /G constructed via modular embeddings of R 3 /G into a Euclidean space promote the controlled topology to a controlled geometry. The quasisymmetric parametrizability of the metric space R 3 /G×R m by R 3+m for any m ≥ 0 imposes quantitative topological constraints, in terms of the circulation and the growth of the cubes-with-handles, on the defining sequences for R 3 /G. We give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for the existence of such a parametrization. The necessary condition answers negatively a question of Heinone…
