In this paper, we give a geometric characterization of the weak-$A_\\infty$ property, of harmonic measure, and hence of solvability of the $L^p$ Dirichlet problem for some finite $p$. This characterization is obtained under background hypotheses (an interior corkscrew condition, along with Ahlfors-David regularity of the boundary) that are in the nature of best possible: we provide counter-examples in the absence of either of them (or even one of the two, upper or lower, Ahlfors-David bounds).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-04T17:23:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31B05", "35J25", "42B25", "42B37" ], "keywords": [ "dirichlet problem", "harmonic measure", "geometric characterization", "quantitative connectivity", "solvability" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
