On Huber's type theorems in general dimensions
Abstract
In this paper we present some extensions of the celebrated finite point conformal compactification theorem of Huber \cite{Hu57} for complete open surfaces to general dimensions based on the n-Laplace equations in conformal geometry. We are able to conclude a domain in the round sphere has to be the sphere deleted finitely many points if it can be endowed with a complete conformal metric with the negative part of the smallest Ricci curvature satisfying some integrable conditions. Our proof is based on the strengthened version of the Arsove-Huber's type theorem on n-superharmonic functions in our earlier work \cite{MQ18}. Moreover, using p-parabolicity, we push the injectivity theorem of Schoen-Yau to allow some negative curvature and therefore establish the finite point conformal compactification theorem for manifolds that have a conformal immersion into the round sphere. As a side product we establish the injectivity of conformal immersions from n-parabolicity alone, which is interesting by itself in conformal geometry.
