Abstract
We show that if Ω is an NTA domain with harmonic measure ω and E⊆∂Ω is contained in an Ahlfors regular set, then \(\omega |_{E}\ll \mathcal {H}^{d}|_{E}\). Moreover, this holds quantitatively in the sense that for all τ>0ω obeys an A ∞ -type condition with respect to \(\mathcal {H}^{d}|_{E^{\prime }}\), where E ′⊆E is so that ω(E∖E ′)<τ ω(E), even though ∂Ω may not even be locally \(\mathcal {H}^{d}\)-finite. We also show that, for uniform domains with uniform complements, if E⊆∂Ω is the Lipschitz image of a subset of \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\), then there is E ′⊆E with \(\mathcal {H}^{d}(E\backslash E^{\prime })<\tau \mathcal {H}^{d}(E)\) upon which a similar A ∞ -type condition holds.
