Abstract: One of the basic aims of this paper is to study the relationship between the geometry of ``hypersurface like subsets of Euclidean space and the properties of the measures they support. In this context we show that certain doubling properties of a measure determine the geometry of its support. A Radon measure is said to be doubling with constant C if C times the measure of the ball of radius r centered on the support is greater than the measure of the ball of radius 2r and the same center. We prove that if the doubling constant of a measure on R^{n+1} is close to the doubling constant of the n-dimensional Lebesgue measure then its support is well approximated by n-dimensional affine spaces, provided that the support is relatively flat to start with. Primarily we consider sets which are boundaries of domains in R^{n+1}. The n-dimensional Hausdorff measure may not be defined on the boundary of a domain in R^{n+1}. Thus we turn our attention to the harmonic measure which is well behaved under minor assumptions. We obtain a new characterization of locally flat domains in terms of the doubling properties of their harmonic measure. Along these lines we investigate how the ``weak regularity of the Poisson kernel of a domain determines the geometry of its boundary.
