Abstract

We give an explicit construction of all quasicircles, modulo bilipschitz maps. More precisely, we construct a class of planar Jordan curves, using a process similar to the construction of the van Koch snowflake curve. These snowflake-like curves are easily seen to be quasicircles. We prove that for every quasicircle there is a bilipschitz homeomorphism of the plane and a snowflake-like curve with . In the same fashion we obtain a construction of all bilipschitz-homogeneous Jordan curves, modulo bilipschitz map, and determine all dimension functions occuring for such curves. As a tool we construct a variant of the Konyagin–Volberg uniformly doubling measure on .
