We prove an uniform boundary Harnack inequality for nonnegative functions harmonic with respect to $\alpha$-stable process on the Sierpi{\'n}ski triangle, where $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. Our result requires no regularity assumptions on the…

A complex function $f(z)$ is called a Herglotz-Nevanlinna function if it is holomorphic in the upper half-plane ${\mathbb C}_+$ and maps ${\mathbb C}_+$ into itself. By a maximum principle a Herglotz-Nevanlinna function which takes a real…

If $u : \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d \to {\rm X}$ is a harmonic map valued in a metric space ${\rm X}$ and ${\sf E} : {\rm X} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function, in the sense that it generates an ${\rm EVI}_0$-gradient flow, we prove that…

Let $u$ be a harmonic function in the unit ball $B_1 \subset \mathbb R^n$, normalized so that its gradient has magnitude at most 1 on the unit ball. We show that if the gradient of $u$ is $\epsilon$-small in size on a set $E\subset B_{1/2}$…
