Abstract

We consider a uniformly rectifiable set ΓRn\Gamma \subset \mathbb R^n of dimension d<n1d<n-1. By using degenerate elliptic operators on the complement Ω=RnΓ\Omega = \mathbb R^n \setminus \Gamma, Guy David, Svitlana Mayboroda, and the author introduced a notion of harmonic measure on Γ\Gamma. We prove in the present article that this harmonic measure on Γ\Gamma satisfies the AA^\infty-property, that is the harmonic measure and the dd-dimension Hausdorff measure on Γ\Gamma are mutually absolutely continuous in a quantitative and scale invariant way. Thus, we give an alternate proof of a recent theorem of David and Mayboroda, which itself extends a result of Hofmann and Martell to the case where the uniformly rectifiable set Γ\Gamma is not of codimension 1. The proof is surprisingly simple - in particular does not follow the route used by David and Mayboroda, or by Hofmann and Martell - but is specific to the case when d<n1d<n-1.
