講演題目 ：Quasiconformal and Sobolev mappings on metric measure spaces

アブストラクト
The study of quasiconformal mappings has been an important and active topic since its introduction in the 1930s and the theory has been widely applied to different fields including differential geometry, harmonic analysis, PDEs, etc. In the Euclidean space, it is a fundamental result that three definitions (metric, geometric and analytic) of quasiconformality are equivalent. The theory of quasiconformal mappings has been extended to metric measure spaces by Heinonen and Koskela in the 1990s and their work laid the foundation of analysis on metric spaces. In general, the equivalence of the three characterizations will no longer hold without appropriate assumptions on the spaces and mappings. It is a question of general interest to find minimal assumptions on the metric spaces and on the mapping to guarantee the metric definition implies the analytic characterization or geometric characterization. In this talk, we will give an brief review of the above mentioned classical theory and present some recent results we achieved in obtaining the analytic property, in particular, the Sobolev regularity of a metric quasiconformal mapping with relaxed spaces and mapping conditions. Unexpectedly, we can apply this to prove results that are new even in the classical Euclidean setting. This is joint work with Panu Lahti (Chinese Academy of Sciences).
