Existence and non-existence of minimal graphic and $p$-harmonic functions

Differential Geometry 2023-04-03 v3

Abstract

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 MM with only one end if MM has asymptotically non-negative sectional curvature. On the other hand, we prove the existence of bounded non-constant minimal graphic and pp-harmonic functions on rotationally symmetric Cartan-Hadamard manifolds under optimal assumptions on the sectional curvatures.
