Abstract:
Let $D$ be a plane region of arbitrary connectivity $( > 1)$ for which the Dirichlet problem is solvable. There exists a conformal map of $D$ onto a region bounded by two level loci of $H$, a nontrivial harmonic measure. $H$ is essentially the difference of two logarithmic potentials. The two measures involved are mutually singular probability measures. Further properties of these measures, and of $H$, are derived. The special case in which $D$ is of connectivity 2 is the classical theorem which states that an annular region is conformally equivalent to a region bounded by two circles. The case in which $D$ is of finite connectivity was treated by J. L. Walsh in 1956. A similar generalization of the Riemann mapping theorem is also established. Finally, converses of the above results are also valid.References
