Estimates for harmonic functions in curved spaces.

The existence and nonexistence of $λ$-harmonic functions in unbounded domains of $\mathbb{H}^n$ are investigated. We prove that if the $(n-1)/2$ Hausdorff measure of the asymptotic boundary of a domain $Ω$ is zero, then there is no bounded $λ$-harmonic function of $Ω$ for $λ\in [0,λ_1(\mathbb{H}^n)]$, where $λ_1(\mathb…

Let $p$ be a real number greater than one and let $G$ be a connected graph of bounded degree. In this paper we introduce the $p$-harmonic boundary of $G$. We use this boundary to characterize the graphs $G$ for which the constant functions are the only $p$-harmonic functions on $G$. It is shown that any continuous func…

We establish dimension-independent estimates related to heat operators e^{tL} on manifolds. We first develop a very general contractivity result for Markov kernels which can be applied to diffusion semigroups. Second, we develop estimates on the norm behavior of harmonic and non-negative subharmonic functions. We apply…

For any manifold with polynomial volume growth, we show: The dimension of the space of ancient caloric functions with polynomial growth is bounded by the degree of growth times the dimension of harmonic functions with the same growth. As a consequence, we get a sharp bound for the dimension of ancient caloric functions…

Study harmonic functions on submanifolds and their cones.

Researchers prove constant solutions for a specific Finslerian equation.

For analytic functions in the unit disk, general bounds on the Schwarzian derivative in terms of Nehari functions are shown to imply uniform local univalence and in some cases finite and bounded valence. Similar results are obtained for the Weierstrass--Enneper lifts of planar harmonic mappings to their associated mini…

New harmonic functions show nodal sets can be topologically complex despite frequency and regularity constraints.

We give a proof of the Donnelly-Fefferman growth bound of Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions which is probably the easiest and the most elementary one. Our proof also gives new quantitative geometric estimates in terms of curvature bounds which improve and simplify previous work by Garofalo and Lin. The proof is based on …

Finite graphs with specific curvature have limited harmonic functions and ends.

We study the growth rate of harmonic functions in two aspects: gradient estimate and frequency. We obtain the sharp gradient estimate of positive harmonic function in geodesic ball of complete surface with nonnegative curvature. On complete Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature and maximal volume growt…

Harmonic maps intersect all minimal surfaces with bounded curvature.

Smoothly bounded domains have special functions that are plurisubharmonic.

For positive $p$-harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds, we derive a gradient estimate and Harnack inequality with constants depending only on the lower bound of the Ricci curvature, the dimension $n$, $p$ and the radius of the ball on which the function is defined. Our approach is based on a careful application of…

Let $p$ be a real number greater number greater than one. Suppose that a graph $G$ of bounded degree is quasi-isometric with a Riemannian manifold $M$ with certain properties. Under these conditions we will show that the $p$-harmonic boundary of $G$ is homeomorphic to the $p$-harmonic boundary of $M$. We will also prov…

Paper proves a Liouville theorem for solitons with constant curvature.

Let $R$ be a compact surface and let $Γ$ be a Jordan curve which separates $R$ into two connected components $Σ_1$ and $Σ_2$. A harmonic function $h_1$ on $Σ_1$ of bounded Dirichlet norm has boundary values $H$ in a certain conformally invariant non-tangential sense on $Γ$. We show that if $Γ$ is a quasicircle, then th…

To obtain groups with bounded harmonic functions (which are not hyperbolic), one of the most frequent way is to look at some semi-direct products (\eg lamplighter groups). The aim here is to show that many of these semi-direct products do not admit harmonic functions with gradient in $\ell^p$, for $p\in [1,\infty[$.

The study proves properties of intersections of horospheres in harmonic spaces.

Let (M,g) be a non-compact and complete Riemannian manifold with minimal horospheres and infinite injectivity radius. We prove that bounded functions on (M,g) satisfying the mean-value property are constant. We extend thus a result of A. Ranjan and H. Shah who proved a similar result for bounded harmonic functions on h…

New vanishing theorems for harmonic and pluriharmonic functions on Kähler and quaternionic Kähler manifolds.

In this note we investigate the behavior of harmonic functions at singular points of $\mathsf{RCD}(K,N)$ spaces. In particular we show that their gradient vanishes at all points where the tangent cone is isometric to a cone over a metric measure space with non-maximal diameter. The same analysis is performed for functi…

An explicit lower bound for the mass of an asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifold is given in terms of linear growth harmonic functions and scalar curvature. As a consequence, a new proof of the positive mass theorem is achieved in dimension three. The proof has parallels with both the Schoen-Yau minimal hypersurfac…

Every connected, weighted graph with non-negative curvature has exactly two ends.

Lower bounds on Ricci curvature limit the volumes of sets and the existence of harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds. In 1975, Shing Tung Yau proved that a complete noncompact manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has no nonconstant harmonic functions of sublinear growth. In the same paper, Yau used this resul…

We proved two Three Circles Theorems for harmonic functions on manifolds in integral sense. As one application, on manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, whose tangent cone at infinity is the unique metric cone with unique conic measure, we showed the existence of nonconstant harmonic functions with polynomial grow…

In this paper, we prove the local gradient estimate for harmonic functions on complete, noncompact Finsler measure spaces under the condition that the weighted Ricci curvature has a lower bound. As applications, we obtain Liouville type theorem on Finsler manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.

Asymptotically harmonic manifolds are simply connected complete Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points such that all horospheres have the same constant mean curvature $h$. In this article we present results for harmonic functions on rank one asymptotically harmonic manifolds $X$ with mild curvature boundedness c…

Study bounds on harmonic forms in hyperbolic 3-manifolds using Thurston norm and minimal surfaces.

For a bounded domain equipped with a piecewise Lipschitz continuous Riemannian metric g, we consider harmonic map from $(Ω, g)$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $(N,h)\subset\mathbb R^k$ without boundary. We generalize the notion of stationary harmonic map and prove the partial regularity. We also discuss the global Li…

The paper establishes inequalities and gradient estimates for harmonic functions on Finsler measure spaces.

We introduce and study generalized $1$-harmonic equations (1.1). Using some ideas and techniques in studying $1$-harmonic functions from [W1] (2007), and in studying nonhomogeneous $1$-harmonic functions on a cocompact set from [W2, (9.1)] (2008), we find an analytic quantity $w$ in the generalized $1$-harmonic equatio…

We prove that every entire solution of the minimal graph equation that is bounded from below and has at most linear growth must be constant on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with only one end if $M$ has asymptotically non-negative sectional curvature. On the other hand, we prove the existence of bounded non-constan…

Study fractional perimeter asymptotics on Riemannian manifolds as $s$ approaches 0.

We study the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for A-harmonic equations and for the minimal graph equation on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold M whose sectional curvatures are bounded from below and above by certain functions depending on the distance to a fixed point in M. We are, in particular, interested in finding optimal (or…

We study here the action of subgroups of PSL(2,R) on the space of harmonic functions on the unit disc bounded by a common constant, as well as the relationship this action has with the foliated Liouville problem: Given a foliation of a compact manifold by Riemannian leaves and a leafwise harmonic continuous function on…

In this paper, we first obtain an $L^q$ gradient estimate for $p$-harmonic maps, by assuming the target manifold supporting a certain function, whose gradient and Hessian satisfy some analysis conditions. From this $L^q$ gradient estimate, we get a corresponding Liouville type result for $p$-harmonic maps. Secondly, us…

Theorem proves spectral rigidity of warped product metrics.

The vanishing of reduced $\ell^2$-cohomology for amenable groups can be traced to the work of Cheeger & Gromov. The subject matter here is reduced $\ell^p$-cohomology for $p \in ]1,\infty[$, particularly its vanishing. Results showing its triviality are obtained, for example: when $p \in ]1,2]$ and $G$ is amenable; whe…
