CHAPTER 8
First series of implications
In the preceding chapters we have presented many different ways to view a
quasi disk D in R^2. We turn now to the proofs of some of these characterizations.
Our first goal is to prove the following statements for simply connected domains D
-2
with card(R \ D) 2 2.
1° A quasidisk D has the hyperbolic segment property.
2° The hyperbolic segment property implies D is uniform.
3° A uniform domain is linearly lo cally connected.
4° Linear local connectivity implies the three-point condition.
5° The three-point condition implies the quadrilateral inequality.
6° The quadrilateral inequality implies D is a quasidisk.
7° D is a quasidisk if and only if it admits reflections.
8° D is a quasidisk if and only if it is quasiconformally decomposable.
