\(A_ \infty\) and the Green function (Q1314922)

Let \(\Omega\) be a domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ m\), let \(\delta\) be the function of distance from \(\partial \Omega\), let \(p \in \Omega\), let \(G\) be the Green function for \(\Omega\) relative to Laplace's equation, let \(\Gamma\) be an \((m-1)\)-dimensional hyperplane in \(\mathbb{R}^ m\) such that \(p \not\in \Gamma\), let \(\sigma\) be \((m-1)\)-dimensional Lebesgue measure on \(\Gamma\), and let \(L\) be a domain in \(\Gamma\). The author establishes conditions on \(\Omega\) and \(L\), which ensure that the restriction to \(L\) of \(G/\delta\) can be extended to an \(A_ \infty(d\sigma)\) function on \(\Gamma\), where \(A_ \infty(d\sigma)\) is the class of all functions \(f\) such that there exist \(\alpha,\beta \in ]0,1[\) for which \(\sigma(E)/\sigma(Q) < \alpha\) if \(\mu(E)/\mu(Q) < \beta\) whenever \(E\) is a measurable subset of a cube \(Q \subseteq \Gamma\), where \(d\mu = fd\sigma\). The results are related to earlier works on the complex plane by \textit{J. Fernández, J. Heinonen} and \textit{O. Martio} [J. Anal. Math. 52, 117-132 (1989; Zbl 0677.30012)], and by \textit{J. Heinonen} and \textit{R. Näkki} [J. Anal. Math. (to appear)].
