Quasisymmetric rectifiability of uniformly disconnected sets

We prove that uniformly disconnected subsets of metric measure spaces with controlled geometry (complete, Ahlfors regular, supporting a Poincare inequality, and a mild topological condition) are contained in a quasisymmetric arc. This generalizes a result of MacManus in 1999 from Euclidean spaces to abstract metric setting. Along the way, we prove a geometric strengthening of the classical Denjoy-Riesz theorem in metric measure spaces. Finally, we prove that the complement of a uniformly disconnected set in such a metric space is uniform, quantitatively.
