Let \(B\) denote the unit ball in \(\mathbb{C}^n (n\geq 2)\), and for each \(z\in B\) let \(\varphi_z\) denote the Möbius transformation of \(B\) satisfying \(\varphi_z(0)=z\) and \(\varphi_z^{-1} = \varphi_z\). For \(0<\beta \leq n\), \(1\leq \alpha\leq 2n-1\), and \(\mu\) a non-negative measure on \(B\) satisfying \(\int_B(1-|z|^2)^{\beta}d\mu <\infty\), the generalized Green potential \(G_{\alpha,\beta}\mu\) is defined by \[ G_{\alpha,\beta}\mu(z) = \int_B G_{\alpha,\beta}(z,w) d\mu(w), \] where \( G_{\alpha,\beta}(z,w) = \int_{|\varphi_z(w)|}^1 t^{-2n +\alpha}(1-t^2)^{\beta-1} dt\). The special case \(G_{1,n}\) is the Green function for the Laplace Beltrami operator \(\widetilde\Delta\) on \(B\), whereas \(G_{2n-1,1}\) is the pluricomplex Green function for \(B\). In the paper the author establishes some Lipschitz estimates of the potentials \(G_{\alpha,\beta}\mu\) and its gradient vector field \(\widetilde\nabla G_{\alpha,\beta}\mu\) with respect to the Bergman metric. For example, it is proved that if \(0<\kappa\leq 1\), then for each \(\varepsilon>0\) there exists an open set \(\Omega\subset B\) with non-isotropic Hausdorff content \(\widehat{\mathcal H}_{\kappa,\alpha}(\Omega)<\varepsilon\) such that \[ |G_{\alpha,\beta}\mu(z) - G_{\alpha,\beta}\mu(w)|\leq C\begin{cases} |\varphi_w(z)|^{\kappa},\quad \kappa<1,\\ |\varphi_w(z)|\log\frac1{|\varphi_w(z)|}, \quad \kappa=1,\end{cases} \] for all \(z, w\in B\setminus\Omega\). Analogous types of estimates are also proved for \(\widetilde\nabla G_{\alpha,\beta}\mu\) and for the invariant Riesz potentials \(R_{\alpha,\beta}\mu \). It is also proved that if \(u\) is subharmonic with respect to the operator \(\widetilde\Delta\) satisfying \(\sup\limits_{r_0<r<1}\int\limits_S |u(r\zeta)|d\sigma(\zeta)<\infty\), then there is an open set \(\Omega\), with arbitrarily small Hausdorff content, such that \(u\) is Lipschitz smooth on \(B\setminus\Omega\).
