Quasiconformal maps, analytic capacity, and non linear potentials

Abstract: In this paper we prove that if

p h i : C o C

is a

K

-quasiconformal map, with

K > 1

, and

E s u b s e t C

is a compact set contained in a ball

B

, then

frac{dot C_{frac{2K}{2K+1},frac{2K+1}{K+1}}(E)}{diam(B)^{frac2{K+1}}} geq c^{-1} (frac{gamma(phi(E))}{diam(phi(B))})^{frac{2K}{K+1}},

where

g a m m a

stands for the analytic capacity and

d o t C_{f r a c 2 K 2 K + 1, f r a c 2 K + 1 K + 1}

is a capacity associated to a non linear Riesz potential. As a consequence, if

E

is not

K

-removable (i.e. removable for bounded

K

-quasiregular maps), it has positive capacity

d o t C_{f r a c 2 K 2 K + 1, f r a c 2 K + 1 K + 1}

. This improves previous results that assert that

E

must have non

s i g m a

-finite Hausdorff measure of dimension

2 / (K + 1)

. We also show that the indices

f r a c 2 K 2 K + 1

,

f r a c 2 K + 1 K + 1

are sharp, and that Hausdorff gauge functions do not appropriately discriminate which sets are

K

-removable. So essentially we solve the problem of finding sharp "metric" conditions for

K

-removability.
