Abstract: The h-function or harmonic-measure distribution function h(r)=hΩ,z0(r) of a planar region Ω with respect to a basepoint z0 in Ω records the probability that a Brownian particle released from z0 first exits Ω within distance r of z0, for r>0. For simply connected domains Ω the theory of h-functions is now well developed, and in particular the h-function can often be computed explicitly, making use of the Riemann mapping theorem. However, for multiply connected domains the theory of h-functions has been almost entirely out of reach. I will describe recent work showing how the Schottky-Klein prime function ω(ζ,α) allows us to compute the h-function explicitly, for a model class of multiply connected domains. This is joint work with Darren Crowdy, Christopher Green, and Marie Snipes.
