Möbius rigidity of invariant metrics in boundaries of symmetric spaces of rank-1 (Q2360563)

Let \((S,d)\) be a metric space and let \(\infty \not\in S\) be a remote point such that \(\bar S = S \cup \{\infty\}\) is compact. There is a natural definition of a metric cross ratio of four distinct points of \(\bar S\). The group of all homeomorphisms of \(\bar S\) which leave the cross ratio invariant is called the Möbius group of \((S,d)\). Asssume now that \(\bar S\) is the boundary of a symmetric space of rank one obtained from an appropriate Heisenberg group with the Korányi metric. The authors show that any other metric on \(S\) with the same remote point and the same Möbius group is a constant multiple of a power of the Korányi metric.
