Harmonic capacity from infinity in the upper half-plane
ID: harmonic-capacity-from-infinity-in-the-upper-half-plane
This capacity measures the asymptotic probability that planar Brownian motion hits a compact H-hull before the real axis. It scales linearly with length and is distinct from half-plane capacity. A vertical slit of height has capacity ; a half-disc of radius has capacity . Monotonicity of Brownian hitting probabilities gives , where the radius is that of the least real-centred enclosing half-disc. For finite slit hulls the capacity is the length of the image of the two-sided absorbing boundary under the mapping-out function.
