Painleve's problem and the semiadditivity of analytic capacity

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the analytic capacity of a compact set of positive measures can be characterized in terms of the curvature of the measures, and the authors deduced that Θ(E) is semiadditive.
Abstract: Let $\gamma(E)$ be the analytic capacity of a compact set $E$ and let $\gamma_+(E)$ be the capacity of $E$ originated by Cauchy transforms of positive measures. In this paper we prove that $\gamma(E)\approx\gamma_+(E)$ with estimates independent of $E$. As a corollary, we characterize removable singularities for bounded analytic functions in terms of curvature of measures, and we deduce that $\gamma$ is semiadditive, which solves a long standing question of Vitushkin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend these constructions to general spaces of homogeneous type, making these tools available for Analysis on metric spaces, and illustrate the usefulness of these constructs with applications to weighted inequalities and the BMO space; further applications will appear in forthcoming work.
Abstract: A number of recent results in Euclidean Harmonic Analysis have exploited several adjacent systems of dyadic cubes, instead of just one fixed system. In this paper, we extend such constructions to general spaces of homogeneous type, making these tools available for Analysis on metric spaces. The results include a new (non-random) construction of boundedly many adjacent dyadic systems with useful covering properties, and a streamlined version of the random construction recently devised by H. Martikainen and the first author. We illustrate the usefulness of these constructions with applications to weighted inequalities and the BMO space; further applications will appear in forthcoming work.

TL;DR: Central topics such as Hausdorff dimension, self-similar sets and Brownian motion are introduced, as are more specialized topics, including Kakeya sets, capacity, percolation on trees and the traveling salesman theorem.
Abstract: This is a mathematically rigorous introduction to fractals which emphasizes examples and fundamental ideas. Building up from basic techniques of geometric measure theory and probability, central topics such as Hausdorff dimension, self-similar sets and Brownian motion are introduced, as are more specialized topics, including Kakeya sets, capacity, percolation on trees and the traveling salesman theorem. The broad range of techniques presented enables key ideas to be highlighted, without the distraction of excessive technicalities. The authors incorporate some novel proofs which are simpler than those available elsewhere. Where possible, chapters are designed to be read independently so the book can be used to teach a variety of courses, with the clear structure offering students an accessible route into the topic.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if µ is a Radon measure on C and the Cauchy transform is bounded on L 2 (µ), then µ is also bounded on l 2(µ) where µ is the image measure of µ by.
Abstract: Let . : C . C be a bilipschitz map. We prove that if E . C is compact, and .(E), a(E) stand for its analytic and continuous analytic capacity respectively, then C-1.(E) = .(.(E)) = C.(E) and C-1a(E) = a(.(E)) = Ca(E), where C depends only on the bilipschitz constant of .. Further, we show that if µ is a Radon measure on C and the Cauchy transform is bounded on L2(µ), then the Cauchy transform is also bounded on L2(.µ), where .µ is the image measure of µ by .. To obtain these results, we estimate the curvature of .µ by means of a corona type decomposition.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of metric measure spaces is introduced and studied, and Tolsa's space of regularised BMO functions is defined in this new setting, and the John-Nirenberg inequality is proven.
Abstract: A new class of metric measure spaces is introduced and studied. This class generalises the well-established doubling metric measure spaces as well as the spaces (R^n,mu) with mu(B(x,r))

On the other hand, (3.5) is a global paraaccretivity condition, and with some technical difficulties (which may involve some kind of stopping time argument, like in [Ch], [Da1] or [NTV]), one can hope to be able to prove that the local paraaccretivity condition Z Q bdµ ≈ µ(Q∩E) holds for many squares Q.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a necessary and sufficient condition for a given set K to lie in a rectifiable curve, which is the image of a finite interval under a Lipschitz mapping.
Abstract: Let K c C be a bounded set. In this paper we shall give a simple necessary and sufficient condit ion for K to lie in a rectifiable curve. We say that a set is a rectifiable curve if it is the image of a finite interval under a Lipschitz mapping. Recall that for a connected set F c C, F is a rectifiable curve (not necessarily simple) if and only if l(F) < ~ , where l(-) denotes one dimensional Hausdorff measure. This classical result follows from the fact that on any finite graph there is a tour which covers the entire graph and which crosses each edge (but not necessarily each vertex!) at most twice. If K is a finite set then we are essentially reduced to the classical Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP): Compute the length of the shortest Hami l ton ian cycle which hits all points of K. This is the same, up to a constant multiple, as asking for the inf imum of l(F) where F is a curve, K c F. (Such a F is called a spanning tree in TSP theory.) For infinite sets K, we cannot hope in general to have K be a subset of a Jordan curve. What we should therefore look at is connected sets which conta in K. Let Fmi n be the shortest (minimal) spanning tree. Then we cannot possibly solve our problem for sets K of infinite cardinality if we cannot find F, I(F) < C O/(Fmin) , for any finite set K. (Here and throughout the paper C, Co, C1, c o , etc. denote various universal constants.) While there are several algorithms for computing l(Fml.), these algorithms work for finite graphs satisfying the triangle inequality, and do not use the Euclidean properties of K. (See [13] for an excellent discussion of some of these algorithms.) Therefore these methods cannot solve our problem for general infinite K. We present a method which is a minor modification of a well-known algorithm ("Farthest Insert ion" see [13]) which yields a F with I(F) < C O l(Fmi,). The Farthest Insert ion algorithm has been extensively studied with large numerical calculations on computers, and is experimentally good in the sense that the F produced satisfy I(F) < C O l(F,,,i,) for all examples which have
