A Note on Harmonic Functions on surfaces

Analysis of PDEs 2014-08-15 v2

Abstract

We review and give elementary proofs of Liouville type properties of harmonic and subharmonic functions in the plane endowed with a complete Riemannian metric, and prove a gap theorem for the possible growth of harmonic functions when this metric has nonnegative Gaussian curvature.
