To this end, we introduce the weakly porous and dyadic weakly porous sets in this setting, and show that, along with certain doubling-type conditions for the sizes of the largest $E$-free holes, these sets provide the mentioned $A_1$-characterization. We exhibit examples showing the optimality of these conditions, and also see how they can be simplified in the particular case where the underlying measure possesses certain qualitative version of the annular decay property. Moreover, for these classes of sets $E$ and every $1\\leq p<\\infty,$ we determine the range of exponents $\\alpha$ for which $\\textrm{dist}(\\cdot,E)^{-\\alpha} \\in A_p(X).$", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-06-20T09:59:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metric measure spaces", "weak porosity", "annular decay property", "dyadic weakly porous sets", "distance function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
