Abstract

Let h be a harmonic function defined on a spherical disk. It is shown that Δ^k|h|² is nonnegative for all k ∈ N where Δ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This fact is generalized to harmonic functions defined on a disk in a normal homogeneous compact Riemannian manifold, and in particular in a symmetric space of the compact type. This complements a similar property for harmonic functions on Rⁿ discovered by the first two authors and is related to strong convexity of the L²-growth function of harmonic functions.
