Synopsis

Let D be an open connected subset of the open unit ball in d, d ≧ 2. We give an estimate of the harmonic measure of ∂D∩{|x| = 1} with respect to D. This estimate depends in a simple way on the geometry of D. An essential tool is a rearrangement theorem for differential inequalities. When d = 2, examples are given which illustrate the precision of the results.
