Abstract: | A powerful tool for studying the growth of analytic and harmonic functions is Hall's Lemma, which states that there is a constantC>0 so that the harmonic measure of a subsetE of the closed unit disk
evaluated at 0 satisfies
whereE
rad is the radial projection ofE onto
. FitzGerald, Rodin and Warschawski proved that ifE is a continuum in
whose radial projection has length at most π then (*) is true withC=1, and they asked how large the length, |E
rad|, can be in order for their result to be valid. We prove that (*) holds withC=1 for every continuum
satisfying
and θc cannot be replaced by a larger number. Fuchs asked for the largest constantC so that (*) holds for allE. We show that for every continuum
, (*) holds withC=C
2π≅.977126698498665669…, whereC
2π is the harmonic measure of the two long sides of a 3∶1 rectangle evaluated at the center. There are Jordan curves for which
equality holds in (*) withC=C
2π.
