Abstract: We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a map defined on a simply-connected quasiconvex metric space to factor through a tree. In case the target is the Euclidean plane and the map is H"older continuous with exponent bigger than 1/2, such maps can be characterized by the vanishing of some integrals over the winding number function. This in particular shows that if the target is the Heisenberg group equipped with the Carnot-Carath'eodory metric and the H"older exponent of the map is bigger than 2/3, the map factors through a tree.

Review text

A tree is a metric space \(T\) that is uniquely arc-connected, i.e., for different points \(p, p' \in T \) there is an embedding \(\gamma: [0,1]\rightarrow T\) with \(\gamma(0)=p, \gamma(1)=p'\) and any other such embedding is a reparameterization of \(\gamma\). Let \(\varphi : X \rightarrow Y\) be a uniformly continuous map between metric spaces. The mapping \(\varphi\) is said to have Property (T) if for all \(x, x' \in X\) with \(\varphi (x) \neq \varphi(x')\) there is a point \(y \in Y \backslash \{ \varphi(x), \varphi(x')\}\) such that for any curve \(\gamma: [0, 1] \rightarrow X\) connecting \(x\) with \(x', y\) is contained in \(\text{im}(\varphi\circ\gamma)\). The author characterizes maps \(\varphi\) which factor through a tree. The Property (T) is frequently used throughout the paper. Theorem 1.2 gives a characterization of Property (T).
