The Cartan, Choquet and Kellogg properties for the fine topology on metric spaces

Abstract: We prove the Cartan and Choquet properties for the fine topology on a complete metric space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, $1 < p< \infty$. We apply these key tools to establish a fine version of the Kellogg property, characterize finely continuous functions by means of quasicontinuous functions, and show that capacitary measures associated with Cheeger supersolutions are supported by the fine boundary of the set.
