Lp-parabolicity of Riemannian manifolds
Abstract
We describe the Lp-parabolicity of a Riemannian manifold in terms of a unified theory of nonlinear Lp-capacities, for the whole range 1≤ p≤ ∞. For example, the L1-parabolicity is equivalent to the usual notion of parabolicity/recurrence, while L2-parabolicity is equivalent to biparabolicity. For any 1≤ p≤ ∞, the Lp-parabolicity turns out to be equivalent to the Lq-Liouville property for positive superharmonic functions, where p and q are Hölder conjugate exponents. We also provide a new capacitary characterization of the L1-Liouville property. Finally we obtain an almost optimal volume growth condition for the Lp-parabolicity for 1<p≤ 2 as well as a sharp volume condition for all 1<p<∞ for manifolds of non-negative Ricci curvature and for model manifolds.
