Abstract: Let OmegasubsetmathbbRn+1, ngeq2, be an open set with Ahlfors-David regular boundary that satisfies the corkscrew condition. We consider a uniformly elliptic operator L in divergence form associated with a matrix A with real, merely bounded and possibly non-symmetric coefficients, which are also locally Lipschitz and satisfy suitable Carleson type estimates. In this paper we show that if L∗ is the operator in divergence form associated with the transpose matrix of A, then partialOmega is uniformly n-rectifiable if and only if every bounded solution of Lu=0 and every bounded solution of L∗v=0 in Omega is varepsilon-approximmable if and only if every bounded solution of Lu=0 and every bounded solution of L∗v=0 in Omega satisfies a suitable square-function Carleson measure estimate. Moreover, we obtain two additional criteria for uniform rectifiability. One is given in terms of the so-called S<N estimates, and another in terms of a suitable corona decomposition involving L-harmonic and L∗-harmonic measures. We also prove that if L-harmonic measure and L∗-harmonic measure satisfy a weak Ainfty-type condition, then partialOmega is n-uniformly rectifiable. In the process we obtain a version of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula for a fairly wide class of elliptic operators which is of independent interest and plays a fundamental role in our arguments.
