Abstract

Let Ω+Rn+1\Omega^+\subset\mathbb R^{n+1} be an NTA domain and let Ω=Rn+1Ω+\Omega^-= \mathbb R^{n+1}\setminus \overline{\Omega^+} be an NTA domain as well. Denote by ω+\omega^+ and ω\omega^- their respective harmonic measures. Assume that Ω+\Omega^+ is a δ\delta-Reifenberg flat domain for some δ>0\delta>0 small enough. In this paper we show that logdωdω+VMO(ω+)\log\frac{d\omega^-}{d\omega^+}\in VMO(\omega^+) if and only if Ω+\Omega^+ is vanishing Reifenberg flat, Ω+\Omega^+ and Ω\Omega^- have joint big pieces of chord-arc subdomains, and the inner unit normal of Ω+\Omega^+ has vanishing oscillation with respect to the approximate normal. This result can be considered as a two-phase counterpart of a more well known related one-phase problem for harmonic measure solved by Kenig and Toro.
