$\epsilon$-Approximability of Harmonic Functions in $L^p$ Implies Uniform Rectifiability

Abstract

Suppose that $\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, is an open set satisfying the corkscrew condition with an $n$-dimensional ADR boundary, $\partial \Omega$. In this note, we show that if harmonic functions are $\epsilon$-approximable in $L^p$ for any $p>n/(n-1)$, then $\partial \Omega$ is uniformly rectifiable. Combining our results with those in [HT] (Hofmann-Tapiola) gives us a new characterization of uniform rectifiability which complements the recent results in [HMM] (Hofmann-Martell-Mayboroda), [GMT] (Garnett-Mourgoglou-Tolsa) and [AGMT] (Azzam-Garnett-Mourgoglou-Tolsa).
