Abstract

To study the regularity of heat flow, Lin-Wang[1] introduced the quasi-harmonic sphere, which is a harmonic map from M=(Rm,ex22(m2)ds02)M=(\mathbb{R}^m,e^{-\frac{|x|^2}{2(m-2)}}ds_0^2) to NN with finite energy. Here ds02ds_0^2 is Euclidean metric in Rm\mathbb{R}^m. Ding-Zhao [2] showed that if the target is a sphere, any equivariant quasi-harmonic spheres is discontinuous at infinity. The metric g=ex22(m2)ds02g=e^{-\frac{|x|^2}{2(m-2)}}ds_0^2 is quite singular at infinity and it is not complete. In this paper , we mainly study the eigenfunction of Quasi-Laplacian Δg=ex22(m2)(Δg0g0hg0)=ex22(m2)Δh\Delta_g=e^{\frac{|x|^2}{2(m-2)}} ( \Delta_{g_0} - \nabla_{g_0}h\cdot \nabla_{g_0}) =e^{\frac{|x|^2}{2(m-2)}} \Delta_h for h=x24h=\frac{|x|^2}{4}. In particular, we show that non-constant eigenfunctions of Δg\Delta_g must be discontinuous at infinity and non-constant eigenfunctions of drifted Laplacian Δh=Δg0g0hg0\Delta_h=\Delta_{g_0} - \nabla_{g_0} h\cdot \nabla_{g_0} is also discontinuous at infinity.
