Slowly vanishing mean oscillations: non-uniqueness of blow-ups in a two-phase free boundary problem (2210.17531v1)

Abstract: In Kenig and Toro's two-phase free boundary problem, one studies how the regularity of the Radon-Nikodym derivative $h= d\omega^-/d\omega^+$ of harmonic measures on complementary NTA domains controls the geometry of their common boundary. It is now known that $\log h \in C^{0,\alpha}(\partial \Omega)$ implies that pointwise the boundary has a unique blow-up, which is the zero set of a homogeneous harmonic polynomial. In this note, we give examples of domains with $\log h \in C(\partial \Omega)$ whose boundaries have points with non-unique blow-ups. Philosophically the examples arise from oscillating or rotating a blow-up limit by an infinite amount, but very slowly.
