abstract
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\geq2$, be an open set with Ahlfors-David regular boundary that satisfies the corkscrew condition. We consider a uniformly elliptic operator $L$ in divergence form associated with a matrix $A$ with real, merely bounded and possibly non-symmetric coefficients, which are also locally Lipschitz and satisfy suitable Carleson type estimates. In this paper we show that if $L^*$ is the operator in divergence form associated with the transpose matrix of $A$, then $\partial\Omega$ is uniformly $n$-rectifiable if and only if every bounded solution of $Lu=0$ and every bounded solution of $L^*v=0$ in $\Omega$ is $\varepsilon$-approximmable if and only if every bounded solution of $Lu=0$ and every bounded solution of $L^*v=0$ in $\Omega$ satisfies a suitable square-function Carleson measure estimate. Moreover, we obtain two additional criteria for uniform rectifiability. One is given in terms of the so-called $S<N$ estimates, and another in terms of a suitable corona decomposition involving $L$-harmonic and $L^*$-harmonic measures. We also prove that if $L$-harmonic measure and $L^*$-harmonic measure satisfy a weak $A_\infty$-type condition, then $\partial \Omega$ is $n$-uniformly rectifiable. In the process we obtain a version of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula for a fairly wide class of elliptic operators which is of independent interest and plays a fundamental role in our arguments.

Uniform rectifiability and elliptic operators satisfying a Carleson measure condition. Part II: The large constant case
For uniformly elliptic divergence-form operators with DKP coefficients on uniform Ahlfors regular domains, A∞ absolute continuity of elliptic measure is equivalent to uniform rectifiability of the boundary and to being a chord-arc domain.
