    The author develops his investigations on the interconnection of complex analysis (holomorphicity) and harmonic analysis (harmonicity) [see Jpn. J. Math. (3) 1, No.~1, 87--105 (2006; Zbl 1159.22004); Transl., Ser. 2, Am. Math. Soc. 146, 23--31 (1990; Zbl 0709.32005)]. Using specific notations for the unit sphere in \({\mathbb R}^n\), \(X: \Delta(x) = x_1^2 + \dots + x_n^2 = 1\), and for the complex cone in \({\mathbb C}^n\), \(\Xi: \Delta(z) = z_1^2 + \dots + z_n^2 = 1\), and considering the Laplacian \(\Delta(\partial/\partial x) = \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_1^2} + \dots + \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x_n^2}\) and the complex Laplacian \(\Delta(\partial/\partial z) = \frac{\partial^2}{\partial z_1^2} + \dots + \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial z_n^2}\), the author successfuly describes a natural interconnection between the spaces \[ {\mathcal P}_k(X), \quad {\mathcal H}^k({\mathbb C}^n) \;\text{ and } \;{\mathcal O}_k(\Xi), \] based on some complex analogous of the Poisson integral and on some boundary problem for the complex Laplacian on hyperboloids (section of the complex cone \(\Xi\)). Here, \({\mathcal P}_k(X)\) denotes the space of spherical polynomials on \({\mathbb R}^n\), \({\mathcal H}^n({\mathbb C^n})\) denotes the space of homogeneous harmonic polynomials on \({\mathbb C}^n\), and \({\mathcal O}_k(\Xi)\) denotes the space of the restrictions of the elements of \({\mathcal H}^k({\mathbb C}^n)\) on the complex cone \(\Xi\). The author stresses on the fact that the mentioned interconnections can be considered as an explanation of the old result of Maxwell about the same one. The arguments are expressed like a nonformal story of explanations, very interesting technically, but difficult to be present in standard form shortly. This nice paper merits a more careful exposition. A deep problem about the possible extension of the author's construction in the broader context of ``complex boundaries'' (to be precise) of real compact manifolds with elliptic operators of analytic coefficients is announced at the end of the paper.
