## Dirichlet finite harmonic measures on topological balls.(English)Zbl 0959.31005

Let $$\Omega$$ be a bounded domain in $$\mathbb{R}^d$$ and let $$\omega^\Omega_E$$ denote the harmonic measure of a boundary set $$E$$. We say that $$\Omega\in O_{HmD}$$ if $$\int|\nabla \omega^\Omega_E|^2= +\infty$$ whenever $$E\subseteq \partial\Omega$$ and $$\omega^\Omega_E$$ is nonconstant on $$\Omega$$. It is known that the unit ball is in $$O_{HmD}$$. When $$d= 2$$, conformal mapping arguments show that any Jordan domain belongs to $$O_{HmD}$$. When $$d= 3$$, physical intuition suggests that any topological ball $$\Omega$$ should belong to $$O_{HmD}$$. Previous work of the author showed that this is the case under the additional assumption that $$\Omega$$ is Lipschitz. Contrary to what one might expect the author now constructs, for each $$d\geq 3$$, a topological ball in $$\mathbb{R}^d$$ that does not belong to $$O_{HmD}$$. The paper is clearly written.
