Abstract

We study Liouville-type theorems for real-valued pluriharmonic functions on complete gradient K\"ahler-Ricci solitons under gradient integrability assumptions. For a complete gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton (M,g,J,f)(M,g,J,f) and a real-valued pluriharmonic function uu, we investigate conditions under which uu must be constant. By introducing a globally defined holomorphic quantity induced by the soliton potential, we obtain new Liouville-type results beyond the range available for harmonic functions. In the steady case, we prove that uu is constant whenever Mupdv< \int_M|\nabla u|^p\mathrm{d}v<\infty for some 0<p<0<p<\infty. In the shrinking case, we prove the same conclusion for 0<p20<p\leq 2. Finally, we construct a complete K\"ahler example showing that the extension to the range 0<p<10<p<1 relies essentially on the soliton structure and does not hold on general complete K\"ahler manifolds.
