Given a connected open set U 6= ∅ in Rd, d ≥ 2, a relatively closed set A in U is called unavoidable in U , if Brownian motion, starting in x ∈ U \A and killed when leaving U , hits A almost surely or, equivalently, if the harmonic measure for x with respect to U \ A has mass 1 on A. First a new criterion for unavoidable sets is proven which facilitates the construction of smaller and smaller u...
