Comments welcome", "categories": [ "math.AP" ], "abstract": "We study parabolic chord arc domains, introduced by Hofmann, Lewis and Nystr\\\"om, and prove a free boundary regularity result below the continuous threshold. More precisely, we show that a Reifenberg flat, parabolic chord arc domain whose Poisson kernel has logarithm in VMO must in fact be a vanishing chord arc domain (i.e. satisfies a vanishing Carleson measure condition). This generalizes, to the parabolic setting, a result of Kenig and Toro and answers in the affirmative a question left open in the aforementioned paper of Hofmann et al. A key step in this proof is a classification of \"flat\" blowups for the parabolic problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-19T22:14:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R35" ], "keywords": [ "free boundary problem", "parabolic poisson kernel", "study parabolic chord arc domains", "free boundary regularity result", "question left open" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 91, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151005704E" } } }
