Harmonic and Schrödinger functions of polynomial growth on gradient shrinking Ricci solitons (Q6112058)

Let \(f\) be a smooth function on \((M^n,g)\), an \(n\)-dimensional complete non-compact smooth manifold endowed with a Riemannian metric \(g\), \(\mathrm{Hess}\, f\) be the Hessian of \(f\), \(\mathrm{Ric}\) and \(R\) be the Ricci curvature tensor and the scalar curvature of \(M^n\), respectively. The triple \((M^n,g,f)\) is a shrinker when \(\displaystyle \mathrm{Ric}+\mathrm{Hess}\,f=\frac{g}{2}\). Let \(\mathcal{H}^f_d(M^n)\) be the linear space of \(f\)-harmonic functions with polynomial growth of degree at most \(d\). Then the authors prove that if \[ \int_{M^n}(4\pi)^{-n/2}e^{-f}dv=e^{\mu}\] and \(R+|\nabla f|^2=f\) (where \(\mu=\mu(g,1)\) is Perelman's entropy functional), and if there is a constant \(c_0\) such that \(R(x).r^2(x,o)\le c_0,\) where \(r(x,o)\) is the distance from \(x\in M^n\) to a fixed point \(o\in M^n\), then \(\dim\mathcal{H}_d^f(M^n)\le C(n)(c_0+1)^{n/2}e^{-\mu}4^d\) for some constant \(C(n)\).
