Differentiability, porosity and doubling in metric measure spaces. (English) Zbl 1272.30083

The authors prove that a metric measure space has a Lipschitz differentiable structure in the sense of Cheeger if and only if
(a) it has a certain approximate differentiable structure and
(b) porous sets have measure zero,
where (b) in turn implies a pointwise doubling condition almost everywhere. However, (a) alone does not guarantee pointwise doubling, as the authors show by an elaborate counterexample based on Laakso spaces.
