Layer potentials and boundary value problems for elliptic equations with complex $L^{\infty}$ coefficients satisfying the small Carleson measure norm condition

Abstract: We consider divergence form elliptic equations $Lu:=\nabla\cdot(A\nabla u)=0$ in the half space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_+ :={(x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^n\times(0,\infty)}$, whose coefficient matrix $A$ is complex elliptic, bounded and measurable. In addition, we suppose that $A$ satisfies some additional regularity in the direction transverse to the boundary, namely that the discrepancy $A(x,t) -A(x,0)$ satisfies a Carleson measure condition of Fefferman-Kenig-Pipher type, with small Carleson norm. Under these conditions, we establish a full range of boundedness results for double and single layer potentials in $L^p$, Hardy, Sobolev, BMO and H\"older spaces. Furthermore, we prove solvability of the Dirichlet problem for $L$, with data in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $BMO(\mathbb{R}^n)$, and $C^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)$, and solvability of the Neumann and Regularity problems, with data in the spaces $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)/H^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $L^p_1(\mathbb{R}^n)/H^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ respectively, with the appropriate restrictions on indices, assuming invertibility of layer potentials in for the $t$-independent operator $L_0:= -\nabla\cdot(A(\cdot,0)\nabla)$.
