Abstract

A Riemannian manifold resp. a complex space XX is called Liouville if it carries no nonconstant bounded harmonic resp. holomorphic functions. It is called Carath\'eodory, or Carath\'eodory hyperbolic, if bounded harmonic resp. holomorphic functions separate the points of XX. The problems which we discuss in this paper arise from the following question: When a Galois covering XX with Galois group GG over a Liouville base YY is Liouville or, at least, is not Carath\'eodory hyperbolic?
