Isometries for the modulus metric in higher dimensions are conformal mappings

摘要

for a proper subdomain D of R^(n) and for all x,y∈D defineμD(x,y)=infC_(xy)Cap(D,C_(xy)),where the infimum is taken over all curves Cxy=γ[0,1]in D withγ(0)=x andγ(1)=y,and Cap denotes the conformal capacity of condensers.The quantityμD is a metric if and only if the domain D has a boundary of positive conformal capacity.If Cap(∂D)>0,we callμD the modulus metric of D.Ferrand et al.(1991)have conjectured that isometries for the modulus metric are conformal mappings.Very recently,this conjecture has been proved for n=2 by Betsakos and Pouliasis(2019).In this paper,we prove that the conjecture is also true in higher dimensions n⩾3.
