The union $A$ of these balls may be unavoidable, that is, Brownian motion, starting in $U\\setminus A$ and killed when leaving $U$, may hit $A$ almost surely or, equivalently, $A$ may have harmonic measure one for $U\\setminus A$. Recent publications by Gardiner/Ghergu ($d\\ge 3$) and by Pres ($d=2$) give rather sharp answers to the question how small such a set $A$ may be, when $U$ is the unit ball. In this paper, using a new criterion for unavoidable sets and a straightforward approach, much stronger results are obtained, results which hold as well for an arbitrary open set $U$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-06-17T15:52:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31A15", "31B15", "60J65" ], "keywords": [ "champagne subregion", "unavoidable bubbles", "arbitrary open set", "harmonic measure", "omitting pairwise disjoint closed balls" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1206.1514H" } } }
