Some sharp Schwarz-Pick type estimates and their applications of harmonic and pluriharmonic functions (Q2243150)

The paper deals with Schwarz-Pick type inequalities for harmonic or pluriharmonic functions (a clear description of the state of the art for the Schwarz-Pick type inequalities and the generalized Khavinson conjecture is given in the introduction). The authors provide sharp estimates of the norm of harmonic functions from the Euclidean unit ball in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) into the unit ball of the real Minkowski space \(\ell_{p}^{n}\), which are then used to prove several sharp Schwarz-Pick type inequalities for families of pluriharmonic functions with domains in \(\mathbb{C}^{n}\) or in \(\ell_{p}^{n}\), thus extending some previous results. Next, these Schwarz-Pick type inequalities are exploited in the discussion of the Lipschitz continuity, the Schwarz-Pick type lemmas of arbitrary order and the Bohr phenomenon of harmonic or pluriharmonic functions.
