Limits at infinity for Haj{\l}asz-Sobolev functions in metric spaces

Abstract

We study limits at infinity for homogeneous Hajlasz-Sobolev functions defined on uniformly perfect metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure. We prove that a quasicontinuous representative of such a function has a pointwise limit at infinity outside an exceptional set, defined in terms of a variational relative capacity. Our framework refines earlier approaches that relied on Hausdorff content rather than relative capacity, and it extends previous results for homogeneous Newtonian and fractional Sobolev functions.
