We show that, for each $n\ge 3$, there exists a smooth Riemannian metric $g$ on a punctured sphere $\mathbb{S}^n\setminus \{x_0\}$ for which the associated length metric extends to a length metric $d$ of $\mathbb{S}^n$ with the following…

A circle domain $\Omega$ in the Riemann sphere is conformally rigid if every conformal map of $\Omega$ onto another circle domain is the restriction of a M\"{o}bius transformation. We show that two rigidity conjectures of He and Schramm are…

In this (mostly expository) paper, we review a proof of the following old theorem of R.L. Moore: for a closed equivalence relation on the 2-sphere such that all equivalence classes are connected and non-separating, and not all points are…

Suppose that $f: D\to D'$ is a quasiconformal mapping, where $D$ and $D'$ are domains in ${\mathbb R}^n$, and that $D$ is a broad domain. Then for every arcwise connected subset $A$ in $D$, the weak quasisymmetry of the restriction $f|_A:…

A Hausdorff topological space $X$ is called $\textit{superconnected}$ (resp. $\textit{coregular}$) if for any nonempty open sets $U_1,\dots U_n\subseteq X$, the intersection of their closures $\bar U_1\cap\dots\cap\bar U_n$ is not empty…

We prove that a self-homeomorphism of the Grushin plane is quasisymmetric if and only if it is metrically quasiconformal and if and only if it is geometrically quasiconformal. As the main step in our argument, we show that a quasisymmetric…

We generalize the notion of quasielliptic curves, which have infinitesimal symmetries and exist only in characteristic two and three, to a remarkable hierarchy of regular curves having infinitesimal symmetries, defined in all…

We prove that if $f:\mathbb{B}^n \to \mathbb{B}^n$, for $n\geq 2$, 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…

We give an example of an Ahlfors $3$-regular, linearly locally connected metric space homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$ containing a nondegenerate continuum $E$ with zero capacity, in the sense that the conformal modulus of the set of…

We construct a new infinite-dimensional family of homogeneous quasimorphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the two-sphere. Moreover, for any constant $K$ less than the total area of the sphere, we produce unbounded…

We prove that a Hilbert domain which is quasi-isometric to a normed vector space is actually a convex polytope.

Let $X, Y$ be complete, simply connected Riemannian surfaces with pinched negative curvature $-b^2 \leq K \leq -1$. We show that if $f : \partial X \to \partial Y$ is a Moebius homeomorphism between the boundaries at infinity of $X, Y$,…

Conformal and quasi-conformal mappings have widespread applications in imaging science, computer vision and computer graphics, such as surface registration, segmentation, remeshing, and texture map compression. While various conformal and…

The complement of the union of a collection of disjoint open disks in the $2$-sphere is called a Schottky set. We prove that a subset $S$ of the $2$-sphere is quasiconformally equivalent to a Schottky set if and only if every pair of…

We study Besov capacities in a compact Ahlfors regular metric measure space by means of hyperbolic fillings of the space. This approach is applicable even if the space does not support any Poincar\'e inequalities. As an application of the…

Suppose G is a hyperbolic group whose boundary has topological dimension k. If the boundary is quasisymmetrically homeomorphic to an Ahlfors k-regular metric space, then, modulo a finite normal subgroup, G is isomorphic to a uniform lattice…

In this paper, we show that any 3-dimensional normal affine quasihomogeneous SL(2)-variety can be described as a categorical quotient of a 4-dimensional affine hypersurface. Moreover, we show that the Cox ring of an arbitrary 3-dimensional…

We generalize a result of J. C. Kelly to the setting of Ahlfors $Q$-regular metric measure spaces supporting a $1$-Poincar\'e inequality. It is shown that if $X$ and $Y$ are two Ahlfors $Q$-regular spaces supporting a $1$-Poincar\'e…

Let X be a closed surface of genus two embedded in the 3-sphere. Then X inherits a metric and an orientation, which give an almost complex structure, which automatically integrates to a genuine complex structure, making X a Riemann surface.…

We show that any compact surface of genus zero in Euclidean 3-space that satisfies a quasiconformal inequality between its principal curvatures is a round sphere. This solves an old open problem by H. Hopf, and gives a spherical version of…
