Abstract
We verify a conjecture proposed by X. Chen and Y. Shi, which arises from their study of the Green function on spheres in Euclidean space. More precisely, let be a closed embedded surface and suppose that there exists a point so that its Green function is of the form , then must be a round sphere.
