Abstract

We show that every quasihyperbolic geodesic in a John space admitting a roughly starlike Gromov hyperbolic quasihyperbolization is a double cone arc. This result provides a new approach to an elementary metric geometry question, formulated by Heinonen (Quasiconformal mappings onto John domains. Rev Math Iberoam 5:97–123, 1989), which has been studied by Gehring et al. (Quasihyperbolic geodesics in John domains. Math Scand 36:75–92, 1989). As an application, we obtain a simple geometric condition connecting uniformity of a metric space with the existence of a Gromov hyperbolic quasihyperbolization.
