Let $(M,g)$ be a compact connected $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold; let $(X,d)$ denote its associated metric (length) space. A comment on the original formulation of this post mentioned that $(X,d)$ is [Ahlfors $n$-regular][1], meaning that: there exist constants $L,U>0$ for which $$ L r^n\leq \mu(B(x,r))\leq U r^n \qquad(\boldsymbol{*}) $$ where $\mu$ is the $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and $B(x,r)$ denotes the ball in $(X,d)$ about $x\in X$ of radius $r>0$ *(i.e. each $\mu(B(x,r))\in \Theta( r^n)$)*. 1. Where can I find a proof/reference to this fact? 2. Can the constants $L,U$ for $(\boldsymbol{*})$ be stated using the curvature and dimension of $(M,g)$?
