Abstract

In this work we introduce the use of powerful tools from geometric measure theory (GMT) to study problems related to the size and structure of sets of mutual absolute continuity for the harmonic measure $ \omega^+$ of a domain $ \Omega=\Omega^+\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and the harmonic measure $ \omega^-$ of $ \Omega^-$, $ \Omega^-=$int$ (\Omega^c)$, in dimension $ n\ge 3$.
