Abstract:

We investigate the connection between maximal directional derivatives and differentiability for Lipschitz functions defined on Laakso space. We show that maximality of a directional derivative for a Lipschitz function implies differentiability only for a $\sigma$-porous set of points. On the other hand, the distance to a fixed point is differentiable everywhere except for a $\sigma$-porous set of points. This behavior is very different to the previously studied settings of Euclidean spaces and Carnot groups.
