  • quantitative absolute continuity of harmonic measure and the dirichlet problem a survey of recent progress
    Acta Mathematica Sinica, 2019
    Co-Authors: Steve Hofmann
    Abstract:

    It is a well-known folklore result that quantitative, scale invariant absolute continuity (more precisely, the weak-A∞ property) of harmonic measure with respect to surface measure, on the bound¬ary of an open set Ω ⊂ ℝn+1 with Ahlfors-David regular boundary, is equivalent to the solvability of the Dirichlet problem in Ω, with data in Lp(∂ Ω) for some p < ∞. Drawing an analogy to the famous Wiener criterion, which characterizes the domains in which the classical Dirichlet problem, with contin¬uous boundary data, can be solved, one may seek to characterize the open sets for which Lp solvability holds, thus allowing for singular boundary data. It has been known for some time that absolute continuity of harmonic measure is closely tied to Rectifiability properties of ∂ Ω, but also that Rectifiability alone is not sufficient to guarantee absolute continuity. In this note, we survey recent progress in this area, culminating in a geometric charac¬terization of the weak-A∞ property, and hence of solvability of the Lp Dirichlet problem for some finite p. This characterization, obtained under rather optimal background hypotheses, follows from a combination of the present author’s joint work with Martell, and the work of Azzam, Mourgoglou and Tolsa.

  • Rectifiability of harmonic measure
    Geometric and Functional Analysis, 2016
    Co-Authors: Jonas Azzam, Steve Hofmann, Mihalis Mourgoglou, Xavier Tolsa, Jose Maria Martell, Svitlana Mayboroda, Alexander Volberg
    Abstract:

    In the present paper we prove that for any open connected set \({\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}\), \({n\geq 1}\), and any \({E\subset \partial \Omega}\) with \({\mathcal{H}^n(E)<\infty}\), absolute continuity of the harmonic measure \({\omega}\) with respect to the Hausdorff measure on E implies that \({\omega|_E}\) is rectifiable. This solves an open problem on harmonic measure which turns out to be an old conjecture even in the planar case \({n=1}\).

  • uniform Rectifiability and harmonic measure iv ahlfors regularity plus poisson kernels in l p implies uniform Rectifiability
    arXiv: Classical Analysis and ODEs, 2015
    Co-Authors: Steve Hofmann, Jose Maria Martell
    Abstract:

    Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, be an Ahlfors-David regular set of dimension $n$. We show that the weak-$A_\infty$ property of harmonic measure, for the open set $\Omega:= \mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus E$, implies uniform Rectifiability of $E$.

  • uniform Rectifiability and harmonic measure ii poisson kernels in lp imply uniform Rectifiability
    Duke Mathematical Journal, 2014
    Co-Authors: Steve Hofmann, Jose Maria Martell, Ignacio Uriartetuero
    Abstract:

    We present the converse to a higher-dimensional, scale-invariant version of the classical F. and M. Riesz theorem, proved by the first two authors. More precisely, for n≥2, for an Ahlfors–David regular domain Ω⊂Rn+1 which satisfies the Harnack chain condition plus an interior (but not exterior) corkscrew condition, we show that absolute continuity of the harmonic measure with respect to the surface measure on ∂Ω, with scale-invariant higher integrability of the Poisson kernel, is sufficient to imply quantitative Rectifiability of ∂Ω.

  • Uniform Rectifiability and harmonic measure i: uniform Rectifiability implies Poisson kernels in Lp
    'Societe Mathematique de France', 2020
    Co-Authors: Hofmann Steve, Martell, José María
    Abstract:

    We present a higher dimensional, scale-invariant version of a classical theorem of F. and M. Riesz [37]. More precisely, we establish scale invariant absolute continuity of harmonic measure with respect to surface measure, along with higher integrability of the Poisson kernel, for a domain Ω ⊂ Rn+1; n 2, with a uniformly rectiable boundary, which satises the Harnack chain condition plus an interior (but not exterior) Corkscrew condition. In a companion paper to this one [28], we also establish a converse, in which we deduce uniform Rectifiability of the boundary, assuming scale invariant Lq bounds, with q > 1, on the Poisson kernel.The first author was supported by NSF grant DMS-0801079.

  • Rectifiability, interior approximation and Harmonic measure
    'International Press of Boston', 2019
    Co-Authors: Akman Murat, Bortz Simon, Hofmann Steve, Martell, José María
    Abstract:

    We prove a structure theorem for any $n$-rectifiable set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}, n \geq 1$, satisfying a weak version of the lower ADR condition, and having locally finite $\mathcal{H}^{n}$ ($n$-dimensional Hausdorff) measure. Namely, that $\mathcal{H}^{n}$-almost all of $E$ can be covered by a countable union of boundaries of bounded Lipschitz domains contained in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus E$. As a consequence, for harmonic measure in the complement of such a set $E$, we establish a non-degeneracy condition which amounts to saying that $\mathcal{H}^{n}|_{E}$ is ''absolutely continuous'' with respect to harmonic measure in the sense that any Borel subset of $E$ with strictly positive $\mathcal{H}^{n}$ measure has strictly positive harmonic measure in some connected component of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus E$. We also provide some counterexamples showing that our result for harmonic measure is optimal. Moreover, we show that if, in addition, a set $E$ as above is the boundary of a connected domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ which satisfies an infinitesimal interior thickness condition, then $\mathcal{H}^{n}|_{\partial\Omega}$ is absolutely continuous (in the usual sense) with respect to harmonic measure for $\Omega$. Local versions of these results are also proved: if just some piece of the boundary is $n$-rectifiable then we get the corresponding absolute continuity on that piece. As a consequence of this and recent results in [AHM$^{3}$TV], we can decompose the boundary of any open connected set satisfying the previous conditions in two disjoint pieces: one that is $n$-rectifiable where Hausdorff measure is absolutely continuous with respect to harmonic measure and another purely $n$-unrectifiable piece having vanishing harmonic measure.

  • Uniform Rectifiability implies Varopoulos extensions
    2020
    Co-Authors: Hofmann Steve, Tapiola Olli
    Abstract:

    We construct extensions of Varopolous type for functions $f \in \text{BMO}(E)$, for any uniformly rectifiable set $E$ of codimension one. More precisely, let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be an open set satisfying the corkscrew condition, with an $n$-dimensional uniformly rectifiable boundary $\partial \Omega$, and let $\sigma := \mathcal{H}^n\lfloor_{\partial \Omega}$ denote the surface measure on $\partial \Omega$. We show that if $f \in \text{BMO}(\partial \Omega,d\sigma)$ with compact support on $\partial \Omega$, then there exists a smooth function $V$ in $\Omega$ such that $|\nabla V(Y)| \, dY$ is a Carleson measure with Carleson norm controlled by the BMO norm of $f$, and such that $V$ converges in some non-tangential sense to $f$ almost everywhere with respect to $\sigma$. Our results should be compared to recent geometric characterizations of $L^p$-solvability and of BMO-solvability of the Dirichlet problem, by Azzam, the first author, Martell, Mourgoglou and Tolsa and by the first author and Le, respectively. In combination, this latter pair of results shows that one can construct, for all $f \in C_c(\partial \Omega)$, a harmonic extension $u$, with $|\nabla u(Y)|^2 \text{dist}(Y,\partial \Omega) \, dY $ a Carleson measure controlled by the BMO norm of $f$, only in the presence of an appropriate quantitative connectivity condition.Comment: 47 page

  • Uniform Rectifiability and ε-approximability of harmonic functions in Lp
    'Cellule MathDoc CEDRAM', 2020
    Co-Authors: Hofmann Steve, Tapiola Olli
    Abstract:

    Suppose that E⊂Rn+1 is a uniformly rectifiable set of codimension 1. We show that every harmonic function is ε-approximable in Lp(Ω) for every p∈(1,∞), where Ω:=Rn+1∖E. Together with results of many authors this shows that pointwise, L∞ and Lp type ε-approximability properties of harmonic functions are all equivalent and they characterize uniform Rectifiability for codimension 1 Ahlfors–David regular sets. Our results and techniques are generalizations of recent works of T. Hytönen and A. Rosén and the first author, J. M. Martell and S. Mayboroda.peerReviewe
