We provide a potential theoretic characterization of vanishing chord-arc domains under minimal assumptions. In particular we show that, if a domain has Ahlfors regular boundary, the oscillation of the logarithm of the interior and exterior Poisson kernels yields a great deal of geometric information about the domain. We use techniques from the classical calculus of variations, potential theory, quantitative geometric measure theory to accomplish this. One feature of this work, compared to Bortz-Hofmann PAMS 16 and Kenig-Toro Crelle 06, is that a priori we only require that the domains in question are connected.
We show that if $Ω$ is a vanishing chord-arc domain and $L$ is a divergence-form elliptic operator with Hölder-continuous coefficient matrix, then $\log k_L \in VMO$, where $k_L$ is the elliptic kernel for $L$ in the domain $Ω$. This extends the previous work of Kenig and Toro in the case of the Laplacian.
We derive two-sided bounds for the Newton and Poisson kernels of the $W$-invariant Dunkl Laplacian in geometric complex case when the multiplicity $k(α)=1$, i.e. for flat complex symmetric spaces. For the invariant Dunkl-Poisson kernel $P^W(x,y)$, the estimates are $$ P^W(x,y)\asymp \frac{P^{{\bf R}^d}(x,y)}{\prod_{α> 0 \ }|x-σ_αy|^{2k(α)}},$$ where the $α$'s are the positive roots of a root system acting in ${\bf R}^d$, the $σ_α$'s are the corresponding symmetries and $P^{{\bf R}^d}$ is the classical Poisson kernel in ${{\bf R}^d}$. Analogous bounds are proven for the Newton kernel when $d\ge…
In this paper, we establish the following Stein-Weiss inequality with the fractional Poisson kernel (see Theorem 1.1): \begin{equation}\label{int1} \int_{\mathbb{R}^n_{+}}\int_{\partial\mathbb{R}^n_{+}}|ξ|^{-α}f(ξ)P(x,ξ,γ)g(x)|x|^{-β}dξdx\leq C_{n,α,β,p,q'}\|g\|_{L^{q'}(\mathbb{R}^n_{+})}\|f\|_{L^p(\partial \mathbb{R}^{n}_{+})}, \end{equation} where $P(x,ξ,γ)=\frac{x_n}{(|x'-ξ|^2+x_n^2)^{\frac{n+2-γ}{2}}}$, $2\le γ<n$, $f\in L^{p}(\partial\mathbb{R}^n_{+})$, $g\in L^{q'}(\mathbb{R}^n_{+})$ and $p,\ q'\in (1,\infty)$ and satisfy $\frac{n-1}{n}\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q'}+\frac{α+β+2-γ}{n}=1$.

Consider a non-doubling manifold with ends $M = \mathfrak{R}^{n}\sharp\, {\mathbb R}^{m}$ where $\mathfrak{R}^n=\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{S}^{m-n}$ for $m> n \ge 3$. We say that an operator $L$ has a generalised Poisson kernel if $\sqrt{ L}$ generates a semigroup $e^{-t\sqrt{L}}$ whose kernel $p_t(x,y)$ has an upper bound similar to the kernel of $e^{-t\sqrtΔ}$ where $Δ$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $M$. An example for operators with generalised Gaussian bounds is the Schrödinger operator $L = Δ+ V$ where $V$ is an arbitrary non-negative locally integrable potential. In this paper, our…
In this paper we characterize the discrete Hölder spaces by means of the heat and Poisson semigroups associated to the discrete Laplacian. These characterizations allow us to get regularity properties of fractional powers of the discrete Laplacian and the Bessel potentials along these spaces and also in the discrete Zygmund spaces in a more direct way than using the pointwise definition of the spaces. To obtain our results, it has been crucial to get boundedness properties of the heat and Poisson kernels and their derivatives in both space and time variables. We believe that these estimates ar…
