On the notion of parallel transport on RCD spaces
2019
We propose a general notion of parallel transport on RCD spaces, prove an unconditioned uniqueness result and existence under suitable assumptions on the space. peerReviewed
On BLD-mappings with small distortion
2021
We show that every $$L$$ -BLD-mapping in a domain of $$\mathbb {R}^{n}$$ is a local homeomorphism if $$L < \sqrt{2}$$ or $$K_I(f) < 2$$ . These bounds are sharp as shown by a winding map.
Approximation by uniform domains in doubling quasiconvex metric spaces
2020
We show that any bounded domain in a doubling quasiconvex metric space can be approximated from inside and outside by uniform domains.
The Choquet and Kellogg properties for the fine topology when $p=1$ in metric spaces
2017
In the setting of a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar´e inequality, we prove the fine Kellogg property, the quasi-Lindel¨of principle, and the Choquet property for the fine topology in the case p = 1. Dans un contexte d’espace m´etrique complet muni d’une mesure doublante et supportant une in´egalit´e de Poincar´e, nous d´emontrons la propri´et´e fine de Kellogg, le quasi-principe de Lindel¨of, et la propri´et´e de Choquet pour la topologie fine dans le cas p = 1. peerReviewed

Nowhere differentiable intrinsic Lipschitz graphs
2021
We construct intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in Carnot groups with the property that, at every point, there exist infinitely many different blow-up limits, none of which is a homogeneous subgroup. This provides counterexamples to a Rademacher theorem for intrinsic Lipschitz graphs.
The annular decay property and capacity estimates for thin annuli
2016
We obtain upper and lower bounds for the nonlinear variational capacity of thin annuli in weighted $\mathbf{R}^n$ and in metric spaces, primarily under the assumptions of an annular decay property and a Poincar\'e inequality. In particular, if the measure has the $1$-annular decay property at $x_0$ and the metric space supports a pointwise $1$-Poincar\'e inequality at $x_0$, then the upper and lower bounds are comparable and we get a two-sided estimate for thin annuli centred at $x_0$, which generalizes the known estimate for the usual variational capacity in unweighted $\mathbf{R}^n$. Most of our estimates are sharp, which we show by supplying several key counterexamples. We also character…
Indecomposable sets of finite perimeter in doubling metric measure spaces
2020
We study a measure-theoretic notion of connectedness for sets of finite perimeter in the setting of doubling metric measure spaces supporting a weak $(1,1)$-Poincar\'{e} inequality. The two main results we obtain are a decomposition theorem into indecomposable sets and a characterisation of extreme points in the space of BV functions. In both cases, the proof we propose requires an additional assumption on the space, which is called isotropicity and concerns the Hausdorff-type representation of the perimeter measure.
Rectifiability of RCD(K,N) spaces via δ-splitting maps
2021
In this note we give simplified proofs of rectifiability of RCD(K,N) spaces as metric measure spaces and lower semicontinuity of the essential dimension, via -splitting maps. The arguments are inspired by the Cheeger-Colding theory for Ricci limits and rely on the second order differential calculus developed by Gigli and on the convergence and stability results by Ambrosio-Honda. peerReviewed
Sobolev Spaces and Quasiconformal Mappings on Metric Spaces
2001
Heinonen and I have recently established a theory of quasiconformal mappings on Ahlfors regular Loewner spaces. These spaces are metric spaces that have sufficiently many rectifiable curves in a sense of good estimates on moduli of curve families. The Loewner condition can be conveniently described in terms of Poincare inequalities for pairs of functions and upper gradients. Here an upper gradient plays the role that the length of the gradient of a smooth function has in the Euclidean setting. For example, the Euclidean spaces and Heisenberg groups and the more general Carnot groups admit the type of a Poincare inequality we need. We describe the basics and discuss the associated Sobolev sp…
