Abstract: In this paper, we will prove a result of nonexistence on harmonic diffeomorphisms between punctured spaces. In particular, we will given an elementary proof to the nonexistence of rotationally symmetric harmonic diffeomorphisms from the punctured Euclidean space onto the punctured hyperbolic space.

Review text

The authors' main result is the non-existence of rotationally symmetric harmonic diffeomorphisms from \(\mathbb R_\ast^n\) to \(\mathbb H_\ast^n\) for \(n\geq 2\). More precisely, using spherical coordinates, they endow \(\mathbb R^n\) with the metrics \(r^2d\theta^2+dr^2\) and \(g(r)^2d\theta^2+dr^2\), and show that under suitable conditions on the function \(g\), there is no harmonic diffeomorphism from the first metric to the second in the respective punctured spaces. Rotational symmetry reduces this problem to the study of solutions of a second-order differential equation of Abel type.
