Perturbation theory for second order elliptic operators with BMO antisymmetric part (Q6570530)

In this paper, the authors discuss perturbations for the \(L^p\) Dirichlet problem on bounded chord arc domains for elliptic operators in divergence form with potentially unbounded antisymmetric part in BMO.\N\NMore precisely, consider elliptic operators \(L_0=\text{div}(A_0\nabla)\) and \(L_1=\text{div}(A_1\nabla)\) such that the \(L^p\) Dirichlet problem for \(L_0\) is solvable for some \(p>1\). The main result of this paper proves that if \(A_0-A_1\) satisfies an appropriate Carleman condition, then the \(L^q\) Dirichlet problem for \(L_1\) is solvable for some \(q\ge p\). Additionally, if the Carleson norm is small, it is possible to take \(p=q\).\N\N\textit{R. A. Fefferman} et al.'s approach [Ann. Math. (2) 134, No. 1, 65--124 (1991; Zbl 0770.35014)], together with ideas from \textit{E. Milakis} et al. [J. Geom. Anal. 23, No. 4, 2091--2157 (2013; Zbl 1282.35151)], play a key role in proving the main result of the paper, which is then applied to solve the \(L^p\) Dirichlet problem on a bounded Lipschitz domain for an operator \(L=\text{div}(A\nabla)\), where \(A\) satisfies a Carleson condition similar to the one from \textit{C. E. Kenig} and \textit{J. Pipher} [Publ. Mat., Barc. 45, No. 1, 199--217 (2001; Zbl 1113.35314)] and the first author et al. [J. Funct. Anal. 249, No. 2, 372--392 (2007; Zbl 1174.35025)], but with unbounded antisymmetric part.
