Abstract

We show that for a uniformly elliptic divergence form operator LL, defined in an open set Ω\Omega with Ahlfors-David regular boundary, BMO-solvability implies scale invariant quantitative absolute continuity (the weak-AA_\infty property) of elliptic-harmonic measure with respect to surface measure on Ω\partial \Omega. We do not impose any connectivity hypothesis, qualitative or quantitative; in particular, we do not assume the Harnack Chain condition, even within individual connected components of Ω\Omega. In this generality, our results are new even for the Laplacian. Moreover, we obtain a converse, under the additional assumption that Ω\Omega satisfies an interior Corkscrew condition, in the special case that LL is the Laplacian.
