abstract

  • In this paper we prove that for every complete n-dimensional Riemannian manifold without Green's function and with its sectional curvatures satisfying K≤−1, the exponent of convergence is greater than or equal to n−1. Furthermore, we show that this inequality is sharp. This result is well known for manifolds with constant sectional curvatures K=−1.
