We also give criteria for singularity and mutual absolute continuity with respect to harmonic measure of any Borel measure defined on a Lipschitz domain based on these distributional inequalities. ´ This extends recent work of M. Gonzalez and A. Nicolau where the term multiplicative square functions is introduced and where the case when u is a harmonic function is con- sidered. Copyright © 2007 Jorge Rivera-Noriega.

Preliminaries and notations An open set D ⊂ Rn is a star-like Lipschitz domain centered at the origin with charac- ter M if, letting Sn−1 = {x ∈ Rn : |x | = 1}, there is a function ϕ : Sn−1 → R with |ϕ(t) − ϕ(s)| ≤M |t −s | and ϕ(t) ≥ δ 0, and such that in polar coordinates D = {(ρ,s) : 0 ≤ ρ ≤ ϕ(s), s ∈ Sn−1 }. The surface measure of ∂D is denoted by σ . For N 0 set ND = {(ρ,s) : 0 ≤ ρ ≤ Nϕ(s)}, for Q ∈ ∂D, Q = ϕ(s ), we let NQ ∈ ND be the point NQ = (Nϕ(s ),s ), 0 0 0 and for r 0, define A (Q) = (ϕ(s ) − r,s ). r
