Potential Theory on Minimal Hypersurfaces I: Singularities as Martin Boundaries

Abstract

This is Part 1 of two papers where we develop the basic potential theory of elliptic operators on posssibly singular almost minimzers using their hyperbolic unfoldings. We can establish surprisingly robust boundary Harnack inequalities along the singular set. We apply them to derive a Martin theory and solve classical boundary value problems and we also consider eigenvalue problems and variational problems on such singular spaces.
