Abstract

In groups of Heisenberg type we introduce a large class of domains, which we call ADP, admissible for the Dirichlet problem, and we prove that on the boundary of such domains, harmonic measure, ordinary surface measure, and the perimeter measure, are mutually absolutely continuous. We also establish the solvability of the Dirichlet problem when the boundary datum belongs to LP, 1 < p ≤ ∞, with respect to the ordinary surface measure. Here, the harmonic measure is that relative to a sub-Laplacian associated with a basis of the first layer of the Lie algebra. A domain is called ADP if it is a nontangentially accessible domain and it satisfies an intrinsic outer ball condition.
