Harmonic Functions on Homogeneous Spaces

 Given a locally compact group G acting on a locally compact space X and a probability measure σ on G, a real Borel function f on X is called σ-harmonic if it satisfies the convolution equation . We give conditions for the absence of nonconstant bounded harmonic functions. We show that, if G is a union of σ-admissible neighbourhoods of the identity, relative to X, then every bounded σ-harmonic function on X is constant. Consequently, for spread out σ, the bounded σ-harmonic functions are constant on each connected component of a [SIN]-group and, if G acts strictly transitively on a splittable metric space X, then the bounded σ-harmonic functions on X are constant which extends Furstenberg’s result for connected semisimple Lie groups.

Hardy Spaces of Harmonic Functions on Homogeneous Isotropic Trees

A variational method for operator equations of the form Pu + δβ(u) ? f has been given in Dinca [1]. Here P is a (generally) nonlinear operator in a Hilbert space, β: H → ? ∞ is a convex, proper (β ≠ + ∞) and lower-semicontinuous functional and δβ(u) stands for the subdifferential of β at the point u. The present paper has two parts. The first part contents the main results of Dinca [1] without proofs. The second part discusses particular cases and applications to mechanics among which “the climatisation problem for non-linear elliptic equations” and its applications.

Spaces of Harmonic Functions

It is important and interesting to study harmonic functionson a Riemannian manifold. In an earlier work of Li and Tam [21]it was demonstrated that the dimensions of various spaces ofbounded and positive harmonic functions are closely relatedto the number of ends of a manifold. For the linear space consistingof all harmonic functions of polynomial growth of degree atmost d on a complete Riemannian manifold Mⁿ of dimension n,denoted by H_d(Mⁿ), it was proved by Li and Tam [20] that thedimension of the space H₁(M) always satisfies dimH₁(M) dimH₁(Rⁿ)when M has non-negative Ricci curvature. They went on to askas a refinement of a conjecture of Yau [32] whether in generaldim H_d(Mⁿ) dimH_d(Rⁿ)for all d. Colding and Minicozzi made animportant contribution to this question in a sequence of papers[5–11] by showing among other things that dimH_d(M) isfinite when M has non-negative Ricci curvature. On the otherhand, in a very remarkable paper [16], Li produced an elegantand powerful argument to prove the following. Recall that Msatisfies a weak volume growth condition if, for some constantA and , (1.1) for all x M and r R, where V_x(r) is the volume of the geodesicball B_x(r) in M; M has mean value property if there exists aconstant B such that, for any non-negative subharmonic functionf on M, (1.2) for all p M and r > 0.     

Complementability of Spaces of Harmonic Functions

Let U be a bounded open set of the Euclidean space ℝ ^d and let H(U) denote the space of all real-valued continuous functions on that are harmonic on U. We present a sufficient condition on the set ∂ _reg U of all regular points of U that ensures that H(U) is complemented in . We also present examples showing that this condition is not necessary. The proof of the positive result is based upon a general result on complementability of a simplicial function space in a space.

Isometries of Weighted Spaces of Harmonic Functions

We investigate the isometries between weighted spaces of harmonic functions. We show that, under some mild conditions, every isometry is a composition operator. Our research shows that the structure of isometries of weighted spaces of harmonic functions is, in general, simpler than that observed for weighted spaces of holomorphic functions.

On Weighted Spaces of Harmonic and Holomorphic Functions

Weighed spaces of harmonic and holomorphic functions on theunit disc are studied. We show that for all radial weights whichare not decreasing too fast the space of harmonic functionsis isomorphic to c₀. For the weights that we consider we completelycharacterize those spaces of holomorphic functions which areisomorphic to c₀. Moreover, we determine when the Riesz projection,mapping the weighted space of harmonic functions onto the correspondingspace of holomorphic functions, is bounded.     

Regularity of Harmonic Functions in Cheeger-Type Sobolev Spaces

We give a geometric approach to the study of the regularity of harmonic functions in Cheeger-type Sobolev spaces, and prove the Hölder continuity of such functions. In the proof, we give a definition of an upper curvature bound of the unit sphere of a Banach space, which seems to be of independent interest.

Traces on Noncommutative Homogeneous Spaces

We study properties of C*-algebraic deformations of homogeneous spaces G/Γ which are equivariant in the sense that they preserve the natural action of G by left translation. The center is shown to be isomorphic to C(G/G⁰_ρ) for a certain subgroup G⁰_ρ of G, and there is a 1-1 correspondence between normalised traces and probability measures on G/G⁰_ρ. This makes it possible to represent the deformed algebra as operators over L²(G/Γ). Applications to K-theory are also mentioned.

Hyperbolic Harmonic Functions: Weak Approach with Applications in Function Spaces

Harmonic functions with respect to the Poincare metric on the unit ball are called hyperbolic harmonic functions. We establish the weak formulation of hyperbolic harmonic functions and use it in the study of hyperbolic harmonic function spaces. In particular, we give the Carleson measure characterization for the whole spectrum of spaces, whose analytic counterparts include among else Bloch spaces, Bergman-spaces, Besov-spaces, and Q_p-spaces.
