Elliptic measures and the geometry of domains
Given a bounded domain Ω, the harmonic measure ω is a probability measure on ∂Ω and it characterizes where a Brownian traveller moving in Ω is likely to exit the domain from. The elliptic measure is a non-homogenous variant of harmonic measure. Since 1917, there has been much study about the relationship between the harmonic/elliptic measure ω and the surface measure σ of the boundary. In particular, are ω and σ absolutely continuous with each other? In this talk, I will show how a positive answer to this question implies that the corresponding domain enjoys good geometric property, thus we obtain a sufficient condition for the absolute continuity of ω and σ.
