This characterization is obtained under background hypotheses (an interior corkscrew condition, along with Ahlfors–David regularity of the boundary) that are natural, and in a certain sense optimal: we provide counter-examples in the absence of either of them (or even one of the two, upper or lower, Ahlfors–David bounds); moreover, the examples show that the upper and lower Ahlfors–David bounds are each quantitatively sharp.
