Abstract

In Kenig and Toro’s two-phase free boundary problem, one studies how the regularity of the Radon–Nikodym derivative h= dω-/ dω+ of harmonic measures on complementary NTA domains controls the geometry of their common boundary. It is now known that log h∈ C,α(∂Ω) 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∈ C(∂Ω) 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.
