Quasi-conformal VS quasi-isometric equivalence in spaces with controlled growth
We study conditions under which quasi-conformal homeomorphisms are quasi-isometries. We show that if two nilpotent geodesic Lie groups are quasi-conformally homeomorphic, then they are quasi-isometrically equivalent. We also give more general results beyond the nilpotent case. In particular, we show that quasi-conformal homeomorphisms between geodesic Lie groups are quasi-isometries whenever the spaces have strict parabolic or hyperbolic conformal type. As a consequence, quasi-conformal homeomorphisms between geodesic Lie groups with infinite fundamental group are quasi-isometries. The statements for Lie groups are deduced from a more general study on metric measure spaces with uniformly locally bounded geometry.
