Abstract
We prove the equivalence of three different geometric properties of metric-measure spaces with controlled geometry. The first property is the Gromov hyperbolicity of the quasihyperbolic metric. The second is a slice condition and the third is a combination of the Gehring–Hayman property and a separation condition.
