Abstract

We study absolute continuity of harmonic measure with respect to surface measure on domains Ω\Omega that have large complements. We show that if ΓRd+1\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1} is dd-Ahlfors regular and splits Rd+1 \mathbb{R}^{d+1} into two NTA domains then ωΩHd\omega_{\Omega}\ll \mathscr{H}^{d} on ΓΩ\Gamma\cap \partial\Omega. This result is a natural generalisation of a result of Wu in [Wu86]. We also prove that almost every point in ΓΩ\Gamma\cap\partial\Omega is a cone point if Γ\Gamma is a Lipschitz graph. Combining these results and a result from [AHMMMTV], we characterize sets of absolute continuity with finite Hd\mathscr{H}^{d}-measure both in terms of the cone point condition and in terms of the rectifiable structure of the boundary. This generalizes the results of McMillan in [McM69] and Pommerenke in [Pom86]. Finally, we also show our first result holds for elliptic measure associated with real second order divergence form elliptic operators with a mild assumption on the gradient of the matrix.
