Abstract

We prove that if f:BnBnf:\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}^n, for n2n\geq 2, is a homeomorphism with bounded skew over all equilateral hyperbolic triangles, then ff is in fact quasiconformal. Conversely, we show that if f:BnBnf:\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}^n is quasiconformal then ff is η\eta-quasisymmetric in the hyperbolic metric, where η\eta depends only on nn and KK. We obtain the same result for hyperbolic nn-manifolds. Analogous results in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and metric spaces that behave like Rn\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 Bn\mathbb{B}^n.
