Comments welcome", "categories": [ "math.AP", "math.CA" ], "abstract": "In this paper, we characterize the rectifiability (both uniform and not) of an Ahlfors regular set, E, of arbitrary co-dimension by the behavior of a regularized distance function in the complement of that set. In particular, we establish a certain version of the Riesz transform characterization of rectifiability for lower-dimensional sets. We also uncover a special situation in which the regularized distance is itself a solution to a degenerate elliptic operator in the complement of E. This allows us to precisely compute the harmonic measure of those sets associated to this degenerate operator and prove that, in a sharp contrast with the usual setting of co-dimension one, a converse to the Dahlberg's theorem (see [Da] and [DFM2]) must be false on lower dimensional boundaries without additional assumptions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-27T15:28:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R35" ], "keywords": [ "harmonic measure", "non-tangential limits", "co-dimensions larger", "square functions", "ahlfors regular set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 36, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
