Abstract: We characterize harmonic spaces in terms of the dimensions of various spaces of radial eigen-spaces of the Laplacian

D e l t a^{0}

on functions and the Laplacian

D e l t a^{1}

on 1-forms. We examine the nature of the singularity as the geodesic distance

r

tends to zero of radial eigen-functions and 1-forms. Via duality, our results give rise to corresponding results for radial vector fields. Many of our results extend to the context of spaces which are harmonic with respect to a single point.

Review text

\(M\) is a harmonic space if and only if \(\tilde{\theta}_P=\sqrt{g_{ij}}\) (the volume density function) is radial for every point \(P\) of \(M\). In this paper, the authors characterize harmonic spaces in terms of the dimensions of various spaces of radial eigenspaces of the Laplacian \(\Delta^0\) on functions and the Laplacian \(\Delta^1\) on 1-forms (Theorem 1.3). The paper has a first introductory section where the main results are stated (Theorems 1.3 and 1.5) and two other sections. In the second section the authors prove Theorem 1.3 and in the last section Theorem 1.5 is proved.
