The Apollonian Metric in Iwasawa Groups

چکیده

We introduce the apollonian metric in Carnot groups using capacity. Extending Beardon’s result for euclidean space, we give an equivalent definition using the cross ratio in Iwasawa groups. We also show that the apollonian metric is bounded above by twice the quasihyperbolic metric in domains in Iwasawa groups.

The Apollonian Metric: Limits of the Comparison and Bilipschitz Properties

The Apollonian metric is a generalization of the hyperbolic metric introduced by Beardon [2]. It is defined in arbitrary domains in Rn and is Möbius invariant. Another advantage over the well-known quasihyperbolic metric [8] is that it is simpler to evaluate. On the downside, points cannot generally be connected by geodesics of the Apollonian metric. This paper is the last in a series of four p...

Local Convexity Properties of Balls in Apollonian and Seittenranta’s Metrics

We consider local convexity properties of balls in the Apollonian and Seittenranta’s metrics. Balls in the Apollonian metric are considered in the twice punctured space and starlike domains. Balls in Seittenranta’s metric are considered in the twice punctured space and in the punctured ball.

Convex Bodies of Constant Width and the Apollonian Metric

The study of constant width sets goes at least as far back as the time of Euler. The Apollonian metric, on the other hand, is a relatively new concept. It was introduced by Beardon in 1998 as a generalization of the hyperbolic metric of a ball to arbitrary domains [3]. Close connections between these concepts were established in [20] and [21]. In this paper, we study the Apollonian metric of do...

Apollonian Isometries of Regular Domains Are Möbius Mappings

The Apollonian metric is a generalization of the hyperbolic metric, defined in a much larger class of open sets. However, since it was introduced by Beardon in 1998, it has remained an open question what its isometries are. Beardon first raised this question and asked if the Apollonian isometries were just Möbius mappings. In this paper we show that this is the case in open sets with regular, f...

Equivalence of the Apollonian and Its Inner Metric

In this paper we show that the equivalence of the Apollonian metric and its inner metric remains unchanged by the removal of a point from the domain. For this we need to assume that the complement of the domain is not contained in a hyperplane. This improves a result of the authors wherein the same conclusion was reached under the stronger assumption that the domain contains an exterior point.
