Abstract:

Goldberg, Ishihara, and Petridis have proved a generalised little Picard’s theorem for harmonic maps; if a harmonic map of bounded dilatation maps euclidean space, for example, into a space of negative sectional curvatures bounded away from zero then that map is constant. In this paper a probabilistic proof is given of a variation on this result, requiring in addition that the image space has curvatures bounded below. The method involves comparing asymptotic properties of Brownian motion with the asymptotic behaviour of its image under such a map.
