A metric sphere not a quasisphere but for which every weak tangent is Euclidean

Abstract

We show that for all n2n \geq 2, there exists a doubling linearly locally contractible metric space XX that is topologically a nn-sphere such that every weak tangent is isometric to Rn\R^n but XX is not quasisymmetrically equivalent to the standard nn-sphere. The same example shows that 22-Ahlfors regularity in Theorem 1.1 of \cite{BK02} on quasisymmetric uniformization of metric 22-spheres is optimal.
