Bounded $λ$-harmonic functions in domains of $\mathbb{H}^n$ with asymptotic boundary with fractional dimension (1512.01399v1)

Abstract: The existence and nonexistence of $\lambda$-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 $\Omega$ is zero, then there is no bounded $\lambda$-harmonic function of $\Omega$ for $\lambda \in [0,\lambda_1(\mathbb{H}^n)]$, where $\lambda_1(\mathbb{H}^n)=(n-1)^2/4$. For these domains, we have comparison principle and some maximum principle. Conversely, for any $s>(n-1)/2,$ we prove the existence of domains with asymptotic boundary of dimension $s$ for which there are bounded $\lambda_1$-harmonic functions that decay exponentially at infinity.
