Mean-value property on manifolds with minimal horospheres

Abstract

Let (M,g) be a non-compact and complete Riemannian manifold with minimal horospheres and infinite injectivity radius. We prove that bounded functions on (M,g) satisfying the mean-value property are constant. We extend thus a result of A. Ranjan and H. Shah who proved a similar result for bounded harmonic functions on harmonic manifolds with minimal horospheres.
