Harmonic Measure, Reduced Extremal Length and Quasicircles Pubblico

Abstract

It is well known that there is a close connection between the analytic behavior of the sewing homeomorphism induced by a Jordan curve and the geometry of this Jordan domain. For example, the sewing homeomorphism is quasisymmetric if and only if the Jordan domain is a quasidisk. This dissertation is devoted to the further study of this type of connection. Several equivalent conditions are established for sewing homeomorphism to be bi-Lipschitz or bi-Holder. In particular, we explore these conditions by using conformal invariants such as harmonic measure, extremal distance and reduced extremal distance. Furthermore, some parallel conditions for a quasicircle are obtained.
