Abstract
A well-known class of questions asks the following: if and are metric measure spaces and is a Lipschitz mapping whose image has positive measure, then must have large pieces on which it is bi-Lipschitz? Building on methods of David and Semmes, we answer this question in the affirmative for Lipschitz mappings between certain types of Ahlfors -regular, topological -manifolds. In general, these manifolds need not be bi-Lipschitz embeddable in any Euclidean space. To prove the result, we use some facts on the Gromov–Hausdorff convergence of manifolds and a topological theorem of Bonk and Kleiner. This also yields a new proof of the uniform rectifiability of some metric manifolds.
