Strong A-infinity weights, Besov and Sobolev capacities in metric measure spaces

Abstract

This article studies strong A-infinity weights in Ahlfors Q-regular and geodesic metric spaces satisfying a weak (1,s)-Poincare inequality for some 1<s<=Q, where Q is finite. It is shown that whenever max(1,Q-1)<s<=Q, a function u yields a strong A-infinity weight of the form w=exp(Qu) if u has a minimal s-weak upper gradient with sufficiently small Morrey norm. Similarly, it is proved that if 1<Q<p for some finite p, then w=exp(Qu) is a strong A-infinity weight whenever u has sufficiently small Besov p-seminorm.
