Conformally Invariant Metrics and Lack of Hölder Continuity

Abstract

The modulus metric between two points in a subdomain of Rn,n≥2,\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\mathbb {R}^n, n\\ge 2,$$\\end{document} is defined in terms of moduli of curve families joining the boundary of the domain with a continuum connecting the two points. This metric is one of the conformally invariant hyperbolic-type metrics that have become a standard tool in geometric function theory. We prove that the modulus metric is not Hölder continuous with respect to the hyperbolic metric.
