The Asymptotic Dirichlet Problems on manifolds with unbounded negative curvature

Abstract

Elton P. Hsu used probabilistic method to show that the asymptotic Dirichlet problem is uniquely solvable under the curvature conditions $-C{e}^{2-\eta }r(x)\le K_M(x)\le -1$ with $\eta >0$. We give an analytical proof of the same statement. In addition, using this new approach we are able to establish two boundary Harnack inequalities under the curvature condition $-C{e}^{(2/3-\eta )r(x)}\le K_M(x)\le -1$ with $\eta >0$. This implies that there is a natural homeomorphism between the Martin boundary and the geometric boundary of $M$. As far as we know, this is the first result of this kind under unbounded curvature conditions. Our proofs are modifications of arguments due to M. T. Anderson and R. Schoen.
