Abstract

Let ΩRn+1\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}, n2n\geq 2, be 1-sided NTA domain (aka uniform domain), i.e. a domain which satisfies interior Corkscrew and Harnack Chain conditions, and assume that Ω\partial\Omega is nn-dimensional Ahlfors-David regular. We characterize the rectifiability of Ω\partial\Omega in terms of the absolute continuity of surface measure with respect to harmonic measure. We also show that these are equivalent to the fact that Ω\partial\Omega can be covered Hn\mathcal{H}^n-a.e. by a countable union of portions of boundaries of bounded chord-arc subdomains of Ω\Omega and to the fact that Ω\partial\Omega possesses exterior corkscrew points in a qualitative way Hn\mathcal{H}^n-a.e. Our methods apply to harmonic measure and also to elliptic measures associated with real symmetric second order divergence form elliptic operators with locally Lipschitz coefficients whose derivatives satisfy a natural qualitative Carleson condition.
