Abstract

Questions concerning quantitative and asymptotic properties of the elliptic measure corresponding to a uniformly elliptic divergence form operator have been the focus of recent studies. In this setting we show that the elliptic measure of an operator with coefficients satisfying a vanishing Carleson condition in the upper half space is an asymptotically optimal AA_\infty weight. In particular, for such operators the logarithm of the elliptic kernel is in the space of (locally) vanishing mean oscillation. To achieve this, we prove local, quantitative estimates on a quantity (introduced by Fefferman, Kenig and Pipher) that controls the AA_\infty constant. Our work uses recent results obtained by David, Li and Mayboroda. These quantitative estimates may offer a new framework to approach similar problems.

Comments

We have improved Theorem 2.15 slightly so it holds for any (doubling) Radon measure, not just weights. In particular this enables a more self-contained proof of the absolute continuity of harmonic measures in our setting
