Abstract: A complex harmonic function of finite Dirichlet energy on a Jordan domain has boundary values in a certain conformally invariant sense, by a construction of H. Osborn. We call the set of such boundary values the Douglas-Osborn space. One may then attempt to solve the Dirichlet problem on the complement for these boundary values. This defines a reflection of harmonic functions. We show that quasicircles are precisely those Jordan curves for which this reflection is defined and bounded. We then use a limiting Cauchy integral along level curves of Green's function to show that the Plemelj-Sokhotski jump formula holds on quasicircles with boundary data in the Douglas-Osborn space. This enables us to prove the well-posedness of a Riemann-Hilbert problem with boundary data in the Douglas-Osborn space on quasicircles.

Review text

Let \(\Gamma\) be a quasicircle in the plane (that is, the boundary of a quasidisk which is the image of the unit disk under a quasiconformal map). Assume that the complement of \(\Gamma\) consists of two components \(\Omega^+\), \(\Omega^-\), where \(\Omega^+\) is bounded. The authors obtain first that the space of functions obtained as boundary values of complex harmonic functions of finite Dirichlet energy on \(\Omega^+\) and \(\Omega^-\) are the same. This defines the so-called Douglas-Osborn space. Then the authors define a ``harmonic reflection in quasicircles as follows: given \(h_{\Omega^+}\) in the Dirichlet space of \(\Omega^+\), denote by \(h\) its restriction to \(\Gamma\) in the sense of Osborn and then let \(h_{\Omega^-}\) be the unique function in the Dirichlet space of \(\Omega^-\) with boundary values \(h\). It is shown that such a ``reflection \(h_{\Omega^-}\) is well defined and bounded precisely for quasicircles. Using a limiting Cauchy integral along level curves of Green's function it is further shown that the Plemelj-Sokhotski jump formula holds on quasicircles with boundary data in the Douglas-Osborn space. This allows the authors to deduce the well-posedness of a Riemann-Hilbert problem with boundary data in the Douglas-Osborn space on quasicircles.
