Title: A counterexample to integer-degree harmonic dimension comparison.

Abstract: For some even n ≥ 8 and integer k ≥ 2, we construct a complete smooth metric on ℝn with nonnegative Ricci curvature whose space of real harmonic functions of pointwise polynomial growth at most k has dimension larger than the Euclidean harmonic-polynomial dimension. The metric is Euclidean near the origin, has asymptotic volume ratio strictly between zero and one, and has nonunique tangent cones at infinity. This answers the integer-degree form of Yau's dimension comparison question in the negative.

This abstract is a catalogue record. It is not a verification and not a premise. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
