Quasiconformal non-parametrizability of almost smooth spheres

Abstract: We show that, for each

n g e 3

, there exists a smooth Riemannian metric

g

on a punctured sphere

m a t h b b S^{n} s e t m i n u s x_{0}

for which the associated length metric extends to a length metric

d

of

m a t h b b S^{n}

with the following properties: the metric sphere

(m a t h b b S^{n}, d)

is Ahlfors

n

-regular and linearly locally contractible but there is no quasiconformal homeomorphism between

(m a t h b b S^{n}, d)

and the standard Euclidean sphere

m a t h b b S^{n}

.
