Abstract: We show that every Sobolev function in $W_{extrmloc}^{1,p}(U)$ on a $p$-quasiopen set $$ with a.e.-vanishing $p$-fine gradient is a.e.-constant if and only if $U$ is $p$-quasiconnected. To prove this we use the theory of Newtonian Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces, and obtain the corresponding equivalence also for complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $p$-Poincar'e inequality. On unweighted $$, we also obtain the corresponding result for $p$-finely open sets in terms of $p$-fine connectedness, using a deep result by Latvala.
