We classify noncompact homogeneous spaces which are Einstein and asymptotically harmonic. This completes the classification of Riemannian harmonic spaces in the homogeneous case: Any simply connected homogeneous harmonic space is flat, or…

We introduce a new method for constructing complex-valued $r$-harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds. We then apply this method for the important semisimple Lie groups $SO(n)$, $SU(n)$, $Sp(n)$, $SL_n(R)$, $Sp(R,n)$, $SU(p,q)$,…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…
