Abstract
We provide a potential theoretic characterization of vanishing chord-arc domains under mild assumptions. In particular we show that, if a domain has Ahlfors regular boundary, the oscillation of the logarithm of the interior and exterior Poisson kernels yields a great deal of geometric information about the domain. We use techniques from classical calculus of variations, potential theory, and quantitative geometric measure theory to accomplish this. One feature of this work, compared to [KT06] and [BH16], is that a priori we only require that the domains in question are connected.
