A Singular Integral approach to a Two Phase Free Boundary Problem
Abstract
We present an alternative proof of a result of Kenig and Toro, which states that if is a two sided NTA domain, with Ahlfors-David regular boundary, and the of the Poisson kernel associated to as well as the of the Poisson kernel associated to are in VMO, then the outer unit normal is in VMO . Our proof exploits the usual jump relation formula for the non-tangential limit of the gradient of the single layer potential. We are also able to relax the assumptions of Kenig and Toro in the case that the pole for the Poisson kernel is finite: in this case, we assume only that is uniformly rectifiable, and that coincides with the measure theoretic boundary of a.e. with respect to Hausdorff measure.

Changed VMO to "local VMO" spaces, which turns out to be essential
