Stereographic compactification and affine bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms
Abstract Let $\sigma _q \,:\,{{\mathbb{R}}^q} \to{\textbf{S}}^q\setminus N_q$ be the inverse of the stereographic projection with center the north pole $N_q$ . Let $W_i$ be a closed subset of ${\mathbb{R}}^{q_i}$ , for $i=1,2$ . Let $\Phi \,:\,W_1 \to W_2$ be a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism. The main r...

| Summary: | Abstract Let $\sigma _q \,:\,{{\mathbb{R}}^q} \to{\textbf{S}}^q\setminus N_q$ be the inverse of the stereographic projection with center the north pole $N_q$ . Let $W_i$ be a closed subset of ${\mathbb{R}}^{q_i}$ , for $i=1,2$ . Let $\Phi \,:\,W_1 \to W_2$ be a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism. The main result states that the homeomorphism $\sigma _{q_2}\circ \Phi \circ \sigma _{q_1}^{-1}$ is a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism, extending bi-Lipschitz-ly at $N_{q_1}$ with value $N_{q_2}$ whenever $W_1$ is unbounded. As two straightforward applications in the polynomially bounded o-minimal context over the real numbers, we obtain for free a version at infinity of: (1) Sampaio’s tangent cone result and (2) links preserving re-parametrization of definable bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms of Valette. |
