Introducto~j remark We shall be concerned with relations of analytic properties of classical potential theoretic operators to the geometry of the corresponding domain in the Euclidean m-space

m ~ 2 .

Let us recall that a function in an open set rentiable in

is termed harmonic

if it is twice continuously diffe-

and satisfies there the so-called Laplace

equation m

~h= where

denotes the partial derivative with respect to

the i-th variable.

(In fact, such a function

h

is necessa-

rily infinitely differentiable and even real-analytic; this is usually proved in elementary theory of harmonic functions on account of the Poisson integral which will be derived in the example following theorem 2.19.) If we try to determine a harmonic function in where
