Equivalence and self-improvement of p-fatness and Hardy's inequality, and association with uniform perfectness

We present an easy proof that $p$--Hardy's inequality implies uniform $p$--fatness of the boundary when $p=n$. The proof works also in metric space setting and demonstrates the self--improving phenomenon of the $p$--fatness. We also explore the relationship between $p$-fatness, $p$-Hardy inequality, and the uniform perfectness for all $p\ge 1$, and demonstrate that in the Ahlfors $Q$-regular metric measure space setting with $p=Q$, these three properties are equivalent.
