Resum

We prove that a locally complete metric space endowed with a doubling measure satisfies an ∞-Poincar´e inequality if and only if given a null set, every two points can be joined by a quasiconvex curve which "almost avoids" that set. As an application, we characterize doubling measures on R satisfying an ∞-Poincaré inequality. For Ahlfors Q-regular spaces, we obtain a characterization of p-Poincaré inequality for p > Q in terms of the p-modulus of quasiconvex curves connecting pairs of points in the space. A related characterization is given for the case Q − 1 < p ≤ Q.
