Abstract: In this paper we study asymptotic behavior of $n$-superharmonic functions at isolated singularity using the Wolff potential and $n$-capacity estimates in nonlinear potential theory. Our results are inspired by and extend those of Arsove-Huber and Taliaferro in 2 dimensions. To study $n$-superharmonic functions we use a new notion of $n$-thinness by $n$-capacity motivated by a type of Wiener criterion in Arsove-Huber's paper. To extend Taliaferro's work, we employ the Adams-Moser-Trudinger inequality for the Wolff potential, which is inspired by the one used by Brezis-Merle. For geometric applications, we study the asymptotic end behavior of complete conformally flat manifolds as well as complete properly embedded hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. In both geometric applications the strong $n$-capacity lower bound estimate of Gehring in 1961 is brilliantly used. These geometric applications seem to elevate the importance of $n$-Laplace equations and make a closer tie to the classic analysis developed in conformal geometry in general dimensions.

Review text

The goal of this paper is to develop some understanding of isolated singularities of \(n\)-superharmonic functions in general dimensions and apply it to study some geometric problems. Indeed, the main results are inspired by and extend the works of \textit{M. Arsove} and \textit{A. Huber} [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 22, 1191--1199 (1973; Zbl 0264.31001)] and \textit{S. D. Taliaferro} [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 55, No. 6, 1791--1811 (2006; Zbl 1180.35236)]. As applications, the authors first study the asymptotic behavior at the end of complete locally conformally flat manifolds with nonnegative Ricci, and next the asymptotic behavior at the end of properly embedded complete hypersurfaces with nonnegative Ricci curvature in hyperbolic space.
