The analytic -capacity and the Cauchy integral
The most important results of standard Calderón-Zygmund theory have recently been extended to very general non-homogeneous contexts. In this survey paper we describe these extensions and their striking applications to removability problems for bounded analytic functions. We also discuss some of the techniques that allow us to dispense with the doubling condition in dealing with singular integrals. Special attention is paid to the Cauchy Integral.[Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on...
Let K be a compact subset of . A sequence of nonnegative numbers defined by means of extremal points of K with respect to homogeneous polynomials is proved to be convergent. Its limit is called the homogeneous transfinite diameter of K. A few properties of this diameter are given and its value for some compact subsets of is computed.
Ever since the discovery of the connection between the Menger-Melnikov curvature and the Cauchy kernel in the L2 norm, and its impressive utility in the analytic capacity problem, higher dimensional analogues have been coveted. The lesson from 1-sets was that any such (nontrivial, nonnegative) expression, using the Riesz kernels for m-sets in Rn, even in any Lk norm (k ∈ N), would probably carry nontrivial information on whether the boundedness of these kernels in the appropriate norm implies rectifiability...
In this paper we propose to discuss some relationships between the classical Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), Litlewood-Paley theory, and harmonic measure. This circle of ideas is also closely related to the theory of Cauchy integrals on Lipschitz graphs, and this aspect is discussed more fully in the paper of David and Semmes [2] in this proceedings. The main differences between the subjects in [2] and this paper are that the results here are valid for one dimensional sets, whereas [2] treats...
