Abstract

In this paper we develop the Perron method for solving the Dirichlet problem for the analog of the p-Laplacian, i.e. for p-harmonic functions, with Mazurkiewicz boundary values. The setting considered here is that of metric spaces, where the boundary of the domain in question is replaced with the Mazurkiewicz boundary. Resolutivity for Sobolev and continuous functions, as well as invariance results for perturbations on small sets, are obtained. We use these results to improve the known resolutivity and invariance results for functions on the standard (metric) boundary. We also illustrate the results of this paper by discussing several examples.

Space-filling surfaces: sharp Hölder continuous parameterizations from squares to cubes

Following a hint of Semmes, we employ Stong's bijections between integer lattices to construct space-filling surfaces, which are higher-dimensional analogues of space-filling curves. For each $m\geq 2$ we build $α$-Hölder continuous parameterizations $f:[0,1]^m\rightarrow[0,1]^{m+1}$ with sharp exponent $α=m/(m+1)$. In particular, there exist $(2/3)$-Hölder continuous surjections from squares to cubes. This solves Arnold's problem 1988--5.

The disjoint disks property for Busemann $G$-spaces

We prove that every finite-dimensional Busemann \(G\)-space of dimension at least five has the disjoint disks property (DDP). For a sufficiently small metric sphere \(L=S(c,r)\), we show that every embedded arc contained in an exact distance level is a homotopical \(Z_2\)-set in \(L\). It follows that \(L\) has the disjoint arc-disk property and the disjoint homotopies property. Daverman's product theorem then gives DDP for \(L\times\mathbb R\), and a local avoidance argument at the center yields DDP for the ambient \(G\)-space. Since finite-dimensional Busemann \(G\)-spaces are generalized manifolds, in dimensions at least five the remaining obstruction to the Busemann conjecture is the resolution problem.

Every Compact Metric Space Is Isometrically Embeddable into the Gromov-Hausdorff Space

Let $(\mathcal{M},d_{\mathrm{GH}})$ denote the Gromov-Hausdorff space of isometry classes of nonempty compact metric spaces. We prove that every nonempty compact metric space is isometrically embeddable into $(\mathcal{M},d_{\mathrm{GH}})$. More precisely, for every $D>0$ and every nonempty compact metric space $K$ with $\operatorname{diam} K\le D$, we realize the space of all $1$-Lipschitz functions on $K$ with values in $[0,D]$ as a family of metrics on a fixed Cantor space. Under this realization, the Gromov-Hausdorff distance agrees exactly with the uniform distance between functions, and each resulting metric space has diameter at most $76D$. We also construct finite approximations for which the Gromov-Hausdorff distance is given by an exact formula, together with a uniform approximation estimate.
