The aim of this paper is to show that there exists a weakly quasisymmetric homeomorphism $f:(X,d){\rightarrow}(Y,d^{\prime})$ between two locally compact non-complete metric spaces such that $f:(X,d_h){\rightarrow}(Y,d^{\prime}_h)$ is not quasi-isometric, where dh denotes the Gromov hyperbolic metric with respect to the metric d introduced by Ibragimov in 2011. This result shows that the answer to the related question asked by Ibragimov in 2013 is negative.

In this paper we provide characterizations for the Gromov hyperbolicity of some particular Denjoy domains and besides some sufficient conditions to guarantee or discard the hyperbolicity of some others. The conditions obtained involve just the lengths of some special simple closed geodesics in the domain. These results, on the one hand, show the extraordinary complexity of determining the hyperbolicity of a domain and, on the other hand, allow us to construct easily a large variety of both hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic domains.
