Abstract:
In this paper we shall show that the boundary $\partial I_{p,q}$ of the hyperbolic building $I_{p,q}$ considered by M. Bourdon admits Poincaré type inequalities. Then by using Heinonen-Koskela’s work, we shall prove Loewner capacity estimates for some families of curves of $\partial I_{p,q}$ and the fact that every quasiconformal homeomorphism $f : \partial I_{p,q} \longrightarrow \partial I_{p,q}$ is quasisymmetric. Therefore by these results, the answer to questions 19 and 20 of Heinonen and Semmes (Thirty-three YES or NO questions about mappings, measures and metrics, Conform Geom. Dyn. 1 (1997), 1–12) is NO.References
