If $G$ is a direct product of two infinite groups or a (FC-central)-by-cyclic group, then there are no harmonic functions with gradient in $c_0$ on its Cayley graphs. From this, it follows that a metabelian group $G$ has no harmonic functions with gradient in $\\ell^p$. Furthermore, under a radial isoperimetric condition, groups whose isoperimetric profile is bounded by power of logarithms also have no harmonic functions with gradient in $\\ell^p$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-06-27T13:11:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31C05", "22D10", "20J06", "43A15", "05C81", "20F69" ], "keywords": [ "harmonic functions", "gradient conditions", "radial isoperimetric condition", "infinite groups", "reduced cohomology motivates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
